Abstract/Contents: | Discusses research conducted at the University of Massachusetts to investigate the biology and natural history of the annual bluegrass weevil. Results suggest that "ABW larvae will feed first and foremost on short mowed grasses. These insects will choose feeding sites secondarily based on grass type." States that "the potential for ABW to become a golf course pest in Michigan is likely based on the state's similar climate and grass type to that of its eastern counterparts, but thus far, this insect seems to be happy living in the Northeast." |
