| Abstract/Contents: | INTRODUCTION: "Mole crickets are the most destructive insect pests of bahia and bermuda turfgrass and pasturegrass in Florida and have spread to portions of other southern states. Approx. 923,000 acres of turfgrass is grown in Florida. Statewide it is estimated that 30% has been damaged by mole crickets. Two species are prevalent, the tawny (Scapteriscus vicinus Scudder) and the southern mole cricket (Scapteriscus acletus Rehn and Hebard). The short-winged (Scapteriscus abbriviatus Scudder) and the northern (Gryllotalpa hexadactyla Perty) are also present in Florida, but in small numbers." |
