Abstract/Contents:"Billbugs frequently cause considerable turf damage. The recent awareness of several species of billbugs on New Jersey turfs make their management even more complex. The development of cultivars with improved genetic and/or endophyte-enhanced resistance is, therefore, of great importance. In Kentucky bluegrass, a major host of billbugs, significant differences in susceptibility have been observed in a number of test locations, and several mechanisms of resisitance have been suggested. In this study, cultivars with greater aggressiveness exhibited less billbug damage. Endophytic fungi have not been identified in Kentucky bluegrass so they were not a factor in resistance. In perennial ryegrass, however, endophyte-infected cultivars have shown dramatic resistance to billbugs. Genetic sources of resistance in perennial ryegrass have also been identified. Tall fescue typically does not suffer much billbug damage. Preliminary observations suggest the presence of endophytes may be a factor. Significant differences in billbug damage were observed among species and cultivars of fine fescues, with cultivars of strong creeping red fescue generally showing the most damage."
