Abstract/Contents:"The first action a turfgrass manager must take in establishing this new knowledge-based chinch bug control strategy is to survey the sites under his management and classify each area as either high priority or low priority for chinch bug infestation. Despite the best planned cultural management strategies for priority, chinch bug populations may reach levels that require outside intervention. No matter what the priority designation of a site may be, timely samplings should be made to check on the presence of chinch bugs, the life stages present, and their population densities per square foot. Sites that have high priority designations should be scouted two to three times more often than low priority areas. Once a population of 25 to 30 individuals, instars and adults, is counted, an appropriate insecticide application should be made. The exception to this rule is sites with chronic infestation histories. These sites are best managed with regular insecticide applications."
