Abstract/Contents: | "This study seeks to quantify relationships between grub density, root damage, foliar growth, and aesthetic quality of different cool-season turfgrasses to establish damage thresholds for making management decisions. We are also studying how management practices such as watering and fertilization affect expression of grub injury on different grasses ... These studies indicate that damage thresholds for white grubs are higher than previously thought. Treatment of infestations < 10-15 grubs/ft² would generally not be justified unless the turf is additionally stressed. Remedial irrigation in August and September should mask the injury from all but very severe infestations." |
