| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to "determine if southern chinch bugs caused higher weed populations in St. Augustinegrass." Describes the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "eight sites were sampled from March to August 2005, in urban lawns in Palm Beach County, Florida." States that "chinch bugs were counted by microscopic examination. Following chinch bug sampling, weed populations were documented within five randomly located 0.4-m2 [square meters] subplots in each habitat." Reports that "weed populations were significantly greater in the chinch bug-infested St. Augustinegrass than in the healthy St. Augustinegrass." Concludes that "the data from [the] study illustrate that southern chinch bug damage to St. Augustinegrass provides an opportunity for weeds to utilize available resources and to become established...Weed suppression as a result of southern chinch bug control should be considered when determining the economic threshold for their control in St. Augustinegrass." |
