Abstract/Contents:"Oviposition tests and survival tests were conducted on the southern chinch bug, Blissus insularis, on eight different host plants. The eight host plants were Paspalum notatum, Cynodon dactylon, Eremochloa ophiuroides and Zoysia japonica and four clones of Stenotaphrum secundatum (Bitterblue, Floratam, FX-10, and Seville). Data showed that female chinch bug adults preferred to reside and lay more eggs in the four Stenotaphrum clones than the other four grasses. Also, the three highest adult survival rates occurred on Stenotaphrum clones (Bitterblue, Seville, and Floratam) and the three lowest survival rates on other grasses (Paspalum, Cynodon, and Eremochloa). Adults showed intermediate survival on Zoysia and Stenotaphrum clone FX-10. The southern chinch bug is the most important insect pest of Stenotaphrum secundatum in Florida and only occasionally is reported as a pest on other grasses. The ovipositional preference and high survival of chinch bugs on this grass help explain why chinch bugs are a major pest of Stenotaphrum secundatum and not other grasses."
