| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a project where "two insect parasites of Japanese bettle (Tiphia vernalis and Istocheta aldrichi) and one protozoan pathogen (Ovavesicula popilliae), were collected in Connecticut and introduced into research plots on 5 golf courses in Michigan. For each introduction site, control plots were established at a different golf course located nearby, for a total of 10 golf course sites." Discusses the problems caused by Japanese beetles, stating that "Japanese beetle larvae are the most damaging pests on golf courses in Michigan." Reports that "in 2005 we returned to the 10 golf courses in the original study...[and] T. vernalis was not found, I. aldrichi was detected at 4 of 10 locations, and O. popilliae was found at all introduction sites and two control sites, sometimes at epizootic levels (>20% infection)." Concludes that "what is needed is documentation of population regulation of Japanese beetle by O. popilliae, and estimates of how fast it spreads after introduction." |
