Abstract/Contents:Profiles the oriental beetle grub, stating that "in the past few years, we have ecome acutely aware of a new threat to turfgrass and that is the grub of the oriental beetle [Exomala orientalis]. This pest is primarily a problem in the Northeast, but has become increasingly important in western North Carolina in the last five years." Presents a study on the biology, ecology, and management of the Oriental beetle in North Carolina "to determine the distribution with the use of pheromone traps of the oriental beetle in western North Carolina, to determine the overall abundance and damage of the oriental beetle, to compare the development of the oriental beetle to the Japanese beetle in western North Carolina, and to evaluate various control methodologies against the oriental beetle grubs." Results indicate that "both the Japanese beetle grub and the oriental beetle grubs are widespread in the Asheville area and most likely thorughout western North Carolina. The number of beetles captured in traps indicates the potential for serious turf damage is quite real. The documentation of slight differences in the life cycle of the two species may be important in the development of effective management programs."
