Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the control of grubs, stating that "in general, turfgrass managers have taken two different approaches to managing grubs in turf when using short residual control products - curative and preventative." Details each approach and briefly discusses how to distinguish the Japanese beetle, European chafer, and the black turfgrass ataenius. Discusses grub sampling, stating that "systematic grub sampling is used to determine where the highest grub populations are found, which grub species are the most common, and the predominant developmental stage, or instar, of the grubs." Lists several factors that affect a population tolerance and action threshold, including "pest species or complex found"; "pest population and developmental stage found"; and "turfgrass species and cultivar managed." Presents a mapping study in which "the population densities of Japanese beetle, European chafer, and black turfgrass ateanius grubs were sampled on 10 fairways." Reports that "Japanese beetle grubs are...found in higher numbers in the irrigated fairways rather than unirrigated roughs perhaps due to improved turfgrass quality." Concludes that "for managers who have embraced the newest grub control materials, knowing the site conditions of vulnerable areas, combined with specific information about scarab grub activity tendencies, can help ensure the efficacious use of these materials." |
