| Abstract/Contents: | The southern chinch bug, Blissus insularis, is a serious pest of St. Augustinegrass, Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze. Both pesticidal and genetic resistance strategies have been overcome by this resilient pest. In 1973, 'Floratam' St. Augustinegrass was released because of its resistance to the southern chinch bug. In 1985 Floratam was killed in some places by a population of the southern chinch bug adapted to feed on this host. The objective of this study was to assess the status of the southern chinch bug as a pest of St. Augustinegrass in Florida. A survey was conducted involving 23 sod producers and the 67 county extension offices in Florida. County extension agents indicated that the chinch bug was the most serious insect pest of St. Augustinegrass turf, followed by mole crickets, caterpillars, and white grubs. Sod producers indicated that the chinch bug was slightly less serious than caterpillars. Most (37 out of 67) county agents and most (14 out of 23) sod producers indicated that they knew of chinch bug damage to Floratam. |
