Endophyte infection in strong creeping red fescue (only tested under greenhouse conditions) had no effect on nematode-susceptibility of third-instar oriental beetle (Exomala (=Anomala ) orientalis Waterhouse) and northern masked chafer (Cyclocephala borealis Arrow). In tall fescue under greenhouse conditions, endophyte infection had a weak and variable enhancing effect on nematode-susceptibility of second- and third-instar E. orientalis and no effect on nematode susceptibility of third-instar C. borealis and Popillia japonica . However, under field conditions with natural white grub populations, endophyte infection in tall fescue had no significant effects on nematode efficacy against E. orientalis , P. japonica , and C. borealis . While it is possible that stronger interactions between endophytes and nematodes may occur with different grass species, cultivars, and endophyte strains, nematode-endophyte interactions appear to be too variable to allow predictions on nematode efficacy based on turfgrass endophyte status."
