| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles various turfgrass insects, including grubs, billbugs, surface-feeding pests, mole crickets, and fire ants. Discusses various control methods, stating that "for grubs, use tolerant turf..., manage thatch, mow at a reasonable height, and follow a balanced fertility regime to promote a deep, extensive root system with good recuperative potential. Night-flying adults of some insect pests...are attracted to lights, so darkening fields when possible during their flight periods may pay dividends." Mentions that "tall fescue and perennial ryegrass cultivars that contain fungal endophytes resist billbugs, sod webworms, and chinch bugs. Overseeding with as little as 40% endophytic perennial rye can reduce populations of those pests, and their damage." |
