| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted by the United States Golf Association to "1. Describe the reproductive phenology of emerging ABW populations (maturity of reproductive systems, mating, and reproductive longevity) 2. Determine the incidence of adult feeding in natural populations 3. Determine the adult reproductive longevity, female fecundity, and time sequence of egg deposition in controlled experiments." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "ABW [annual bluegrass weevil] populations were vacuum-collected from greens/collars bi-weekly (NY) and fairways and roughs (MA) weekly during the period between overwintering adult emergence (spring adults) and 1st generation adult emergence (summer adults)." Reports that "on average, caged ABW females laid more than 90 eggs over an 8 week period. Egg production was strongly correlated with degree day accumulations. over the first seven weeks." Concludes that "we will continue to the vacuum collection studies in 2013 to determine the time of ABW biological events relative to degree day accumulations and describe the degree of similarity between populations across the region." |
