| Abstract/Contents: | "The bluegrass billbug (Sphenophorus parvulus Gyllenhal) is a major pest of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.). However, there is no information on the susceptibility of Texas bluegrass (P. arachnifera Torr.) or hybrid crosses with genotypes and five F1 hybrids among the tested parents. The hybrid, 'Reveille', exhibited a level of tolerance to bluegrass billbug larval damage and ranked in the top statistical grouping for least leaf-firing (percent of dead or dying leaf and shoot tissue), reduction in tiller number and longest tiller, number and length of rhizomes and reduction in total dry weight of plants (<30%). The hybrids, TXKY96-66-22, sustained 77% reduction in total dry weight and was the most damaged genotype in the study. No single parameter stood out as being the best for measuring the effect of bluegrass billbug on the Poa genotypes evaluated. These results show that P. arachnifera and its hybrid crosses with P. pratensis have individual plants that are both tolerant and susceptible. This paper provides the first report of P. arachnifera susceptibility to bluegrass billbug." |
