Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted by the Florida Everglades Research and Education Center "to better understand the impact of the parasite [Eumicrosoma benefica] on southern chinch bug populations in Florida." Details the materials and methods used in the study, stating that, following chinch bug egg removal from grass clipping collections across three contiguous Florida counties, "eggs were examined microscopically each 2-3 d [days] for chinch bug or parasite emergence for 30 d." Reports that "the parasite was found at all chinch big infestations sampled showing a widespread distribution and close association with southern chinch bugs." Concludes that "this parasite is an important, if not the most important, biological control agent in reducing southern chinch bug populations in southern Florida." |
