Abstract/Contents:Reports the progress of the research to forecast insect pest outbreaks by monitoring the environmental conditions that influence the insect's development. "While we can't always tell where pests will occur by monitoring environmental conditions, we can tell when they will occur. We are in the final stages of validating a model for Japanese beetle grub development and beetle emergence...Other pests that have proven more difficult to predict, such as mole crickets, are still under study...Additional attempts at monitoring and forecasting several other turfgrass insect pests have been less successful the past few years due to sporadic insect occurrence and populations."
