| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potentially destructive effects of billbugs on turfgrass. States that "there are several species of billbugs in the United States; however the most common species in the Midwest is the bluegrass billbug (BGB)...After hatching, BGB larvae immediately being [begin] tunneling (feeding) vertically in the leaf sheaths where they eventually feed [on] and destroy the plant crown." Mentions potential ways to monitor billbugs and suggests that "there are three approaches to managing billbugs with insecticides: 1) Adult preventative; 2) Larval preventative; and 3) Larval curative. Each approach has its strengths and weaknesses, however the larval curative approach is not suggested since most billbug (larval) damage will likely have occurred and the insecticide treatment will not reduce the subsequent feeding damage to the turf." |
