| Abstract/Contents: | "Cool-season turfgrasses stands can suffer from the infestations of up to three different species of chinch bugs at the same time. The primary species of cool-season turf is the hairy chinch bug, Blissus leucopterus hirtus. The common chinch bug Blissus leucopterus, affects a larger geographic area but produces less damage. In warm season turf area, turf is subject to infestation by the southern chinch bug, Blissus insularis. The hairy chinch bug infests stands of most of the cool-season turfgrasses: bluegrasses, bentgrasses, ryegrasses, fine fescues, and zoysia. The southern chinch bug infests primarily St. Augustine grass but it has been found on almost any warm season turf species, occasionally including monocut weed species. The common chinch bug is primarily a pest of small grains and corn. It will, however, move out of agricultural fields and infest turf, primarily Bermuda grass and bluegrasses. A complete understanding of the chinch bug distribution, biology and life cycle will enable the turfgrass manager to analyze and prioritize his sites, thereby increasing control efficiencies and reducing costs." |
