| Abstract/Contents: | "White grubs are annual pests of both the cool- and warm-season turfgrasses in the United States. A 3-yr-old replicated planting of two genotypes of Texas bluegrass, Poa arachnifera Torr., and five of its hybrids with Kentucky bluegrass, P. pratensis L., was evaluated for resistance to white grub damage. A field population of Phyllophaga spp. (prob. P. congrua LeConte) had become established and was causing significant damage across the replicated plots. On 31 May 1996, a visual rating of turf damage, using a scale of 1-9 (9 = most damage with loss of stand, yellowing and loss of root anchoring, 1 = no damage or loss of turf quality) from white grub activity was taken in each turf plot. Grass in each plot was examined visually for wilting and loss of stand and the leaves of 4 to 5 randomly selected plants within the plot were pinched and pulled to indicate potential root damage and loss of anchoring. Based on these results from randomized planting in field plots exposed to natural Phyllophaga adult bluegrass hybrids, TXKY-90-13-16, TXKY-90-13-8 and `Reveille' (evaluated as TXKY-90-16-1), have considerable resistance to white grub damage. TXKY-90-15-6 and TXKY-92-35-1 are susceptible and sustained significant damage (ca. 4 rating) and loss of stand." |
