Abstract/Contents:"Impact from damaging infestations of the annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) is expanding dramatically in golf courses across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Lack of control alternatives has led to reliance on pyrethoid insecticides, which are failing as a likely consequence of pesticide resistance. More durable management strategies are needed. Because improved annual bluegrass (Poa annua) cultivars are being developed at Penn State, we have an opportunity to assess host plant resistance. The susceptibility of these materials to insects is completely unknown. Here we propose to make the first screening of these materials with the goal of detecting and measuring any genetic variation in the performance of ABW or in the expression of injury."
