Abstract/Contents:"Plant growth regulators are often used on turfgrass to reduce mowing frequency and grass clippings, increase root growth and stress tolerance, and suppress seed head formation. Given their effects on grass physiology, which include changes in plant nutritional value and production of plant allelochemicals, use of plant growth regulators might be expected to affect suitability of treated grass as food for turfgrass insects. Effects of two plant growth regulators, trinexapac-ethyl and paclobutrazol, on survival and growth of sod webworms (Pyralidae), the black cutworm, Agrostis ipsilon Hufnagel, and Japanese beetle grubs, Popillia japonica Newman, in creeping bentgrass, Agrostis stolonifera L., were determined. Our results indicate that monthly use of trinexapac-ethyl or paclobutrazol on creeping bentgrass mowed at golf fairway height is unlikely to increase or decrease problems with turf-infesting caterpillars. Conclusions could not be made for effects of P. japonica because of low numbers of grubs at our study site."
