| Abstract/Contents: | "Japanese beetles were evaluated for ovipositional preferences among four turfgrasses commonly used in the transition zone. In a choice experiment with the coolseason turfgrass tall fescue (cultivar Millennium), and three warm-season turfgrasses, zoysiagrass (cultivar Zenith), common bermudagrass (cultivar Yukon), and hybrid bermudagrass (cultivar Tifway), females oviposited almost no eggs in the hybrid bermudagrass, and significantly fewer in common bermudagrass than zoysiagrass and tall fescue. In a second-choice experiment with only the three warm-season turfgrasses, significantly fewer eggs were oviposited in both hybrid and common bermudagrass than in zoysiagrass. In a no-choice experiment comparing the same four turfgrasses, hybrid bermudagrass again received the fewest number of eggs, indicating that although Japanese beetle females will burrow beneath the surface of Tifway hybrid bermudagrass, a chemical or physical characteristic is discouraging oviposition. The potential for using Tifway or similar turfgrasses as a cultural control component in an integrated pest management plan for Japanese beetle grubs is discussed." |
