| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study "to collect quantitative data on the consumption of the blue grass by webworm larvae and to correlate this information with the growth of yields of blue grass under different environmental conditions." Results include that "Until about half grown, the larvae skeletonize the leaves and the total amount consumed during that part is not very significant. The larvae are most voracious during the stage just before pupation...This accounts for about 70% of the total consumption during the life of a larva...The data don't indicate significant increase in the yield when the application of fertilizer is in excess of once a month. Yield is nearly doubled when well watered (2 inches per week) and fertilizer is applied once a month at the given rate. When well watered and properly fertilized, a square foot area of blue grass lawn may carry 5-6 larvae to show 50% damage; whereas in a poorly watered and improperly fertilized lawn 2 to 3 such larvae may cause the same amount of damage." |
