| Abstract/Contents: | "The black cutworm, Agrotis ipsilon (Hufnagel), is a common pest on golf course putting greens, tees, and fairways. Little is known about the biology of the black cutworm in turfgrass. We investigated adult oviposition preference, egg location, and 5th-instar behavior in creeping bentgrass, Agrostis palustris Hudson, maintained at 2 cutting heights. In a laboratory study, fertilized female black cutworms showed no ovipositional preference between 5- and 13-mm-tall creeping bentgrass. Most (73%) oviposition events consisted of single eggs laid on the terminal portion of individual grass blades. Creeping bentgrass cut at 5 or 13 mm height grew at average daily rates of 1.7 and 3.2 mm per day, respectively. This suggests that most eggs laid on golf greens would be removed by standard practices of daily mowing and removal of grass clippings. In constructed turf profiles, 5th instars preferred to feed from burrows rather than exposed on the turf canopy, and these larvae exhibited strong periodicity in nocturnal feeding behavior." |
