Abstract/Contents: | "The literature on host plant resistance to insects and mites for both cool- and warm-season turfgrass is reviewed. Resistance to many insect and mite pests has been identified in most of the warm-season turfgrasses but reports of cool-season resistance are less extensive. Several successful turfgrass genetic improvement programs involve the combined efforts of plant breeders, entomologists and scientists in other complementary disciplines to develop improved cultivars with biotic and abiotic stress resistance. Turfgrass cultivars with multiple pest resistance, when deployed, help to alleviate the need for pesticides and indirectly reduce potential environmental contamination associated with their usage." |
