Abstract/Contents: | "In a series of greenhouse experiments, we examined the influence of below-ground herbivory by larvae of the Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newman, on performance and competitive interactions between dandelion, Taraxacum officinale Weber, and two turfgrass species, Lolium perenne L. (perennial ryegrass) and Festuca arundinacea Schreb. (tall fescue) infected or uninfected by Neotyphodium endophytes. In doing so, we aimed to determine how below-ground insect feeding and endophyte infection might influence the ability of dandelion to act as a turfgrass weed. In monocultures of perennial ryegrass or tall fecue, herbivory significantly reduced the number of tillers per plant and above- and below-gound biomass. Endophyte infection significantly reduced perennial ryegrass tillers but significantly increased the number of tall fescue tillers and above- and below-ground biomass. Herbivory had no significant influence on dandelion growth parameter in monocultures. In mixtures of dandelion and either grass species, herbivory significantly reduced the number of grass tillers and above- and below-ground biomass, whereas endophyte infection significantly reduced the number of perennial trygrass tillers but had little influence on tall fescue Herbivory significantly increased the number of dandelion leaves and above- and below-ground biomass mixtures with perennial ryegrass or tall fescue. Endophyte infection had no signifcant influence on Japanese beetle larvae survival or biomass in monocultures or mixtures. Findings indicated that below-ground herbivory by Japanese beetle larvae alters competitive interactions between grasses and dandelion in a way that favors dandelion. Date support the view that endophyte-related effects on interatcions between plants may not always be predictable and that below-ground herbivory may not affect endophyte-infected and uninfected plants differentially." |
