Abstract/Contents: | Presents the results of research examining the distribution of black turfgrass ataenius (Ataenius spretulus) and aphodius (Aphodius granarius) grubs on golf fairways and roughs. Factors that might account for the relative abundance of grubs on fairways as opposed to roughs were investigated. Results suggest that irrigation levels and turfgrass species do not explain the higher levels of grubs found on fairways, but that the smaller number of grub-eating predators found in fairways as opposed to roughs may be a contributing factor. |
