Evaluation of Buffalograss Germplasm for Resistance to <I>Blissus occiduus</I> (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae)

Buffalograss germplasm resistance to Blissus occiduus (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae).

Plant germplasm collections may offer genetic variability useful in identifying insect resistance. The goal of this project was to evaluate buffalograss genotypes [Buchloë dactyloides (Nutt.) Engelm.] for resistance to the chinch bug, Blissus occiduus Barber (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae), and to relate resistance to ploidy level, chinch bug number, and pubescence. Forty-eight buffalograss genotypes fr...

Evaluation of buffalograss germplasm for resistance to Blissus occiduus (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae).

Blissus occiduus Barber has emerged as an important insect pest of buffalograss, Buchloë dactyloides (Nuttall) Engelmann, in Nebraska. This research evaluated selected buffalograss germplasm for resistance to B. occiduus. Eleven buffalograss selections were screened for chinch bug resistance in three greenhouse studies and two field evaluations. Based on chinch bug damage, NE91-118, 'Tatanka', ...
