Abstract/Contents:"To more effectively utilize IPM [Integrated Pest Management] in the management of turf at the Noer Facility and to meet pest management research objectives, an inventory of the insect and mite population is critical as a database for future use. To this end, a variety of survey methods were used to sample the insect fauna of the station during the 1994 growing season. Representatives of the collections are in various stages of preparation for incorporation into a permanent reference collections in the research laboratory. Specific identifications will take a considerable time to complete for some of the specimens. This work will be a major component for a few years until the reference collection is sufficiently representative of the insect fauna of the station. Turf managers will be able to utilize the collection as an aid to the identification of insect turf problems occurring on their operations. Additionally, collections will be of sufficient size to be used in the teaching of workshops, seminars and short courses in turf pest management."
