| Abstract/Contents: | "Blissus insularis Barber reportedly is more damaging and abundant in sunny, drought-stressed areas of St. Augustinegrass compared to more properly irrigated areas of lawns. However, little is known about the response of St. Augustinegrass to B. insularis feeding and its interaction with irrigation. We sought to quantify St. Augustinegrass growth response to three levels of irrigation (30, 60, or 100% sand saturation) and B. insularis densities (0, 30, or 200 fourth and fifth instars per 181.4 cm2). Feeding by B. insularis significantly reduced turfgrass color, density, yield of grass clippings, and dry root weight at all irrigation levels. Main effects of irrigation level, however, were not significant, and there was no interaction between B. insularis density and irrigation level. Our results suggest that increased irrigation may not prevent B. insularis damage. It is possible that long-term B. insularis feeding damage may look like drought stress, but not be a result thereof. Also, B. insularis could already be present and feeding in a lawn, but a secondary stress, like drought, may intensify the damage. We speculate that increased temperature in sunny areas or near sidewalks and roads may decrease the development time of localized B. insularis populations and the ensuing greater B. insularis densities cause more and faster turfgrass damage." |
