| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study to "determine identity and incidence of microbial pathogens and parasitoids of Japanese beetle and masked chafer grubs on golf courses across Kentucky, the first such study in the transition zone." Explains that "white grubs, the immature stage of stout-bodied beetles called scarabs, are the most destructive insect pests on golf courses in the cool-season and transitional climatic zones." Details the study, stating that "grubs were identified, incubated for 30 days, and dissected to assess mortality from bacterial, fungal, or protozoan pathogens." Concludes that "masked chafers and Japanesse beetle grubs accounted for 66% and 30% of the grub infestations, respectively...Turfgrass species and mowing height influence incidence of grubs and natural enemies." |
