Abstract/Contents:Suggests that "turfgrass insects pose a significant threat to quality turfgrass throughout North Carolina and the southeastern [United States]...since [the] climate is favorable to a number of both the cool- and warm-season turfgrass pests." Provides information on the life cycles of mole crickets, white grubs, and billbugs, stating that "soil pests give...more problems than most because they stay hidden below the turf for much of their life cycle, and [one is] virtually clueless as to where they are and what they are doing." Mentions that "the turfgrass entomology project is working to address the...needs of the turf industry in the Southeast and to be proactive in addressing social and environmental concerns."
