Biology and biotype determination of greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Hemiptera: Aphididae), on seashore paspalum turfgrass (Paspalum vaginatum).
Greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), was first discovered damaging seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum Swartz) turfgrass in November 2003 at Belle Glade, FL. Inquiries to several golf courses with seashore paspalum turf across southern Florida indicated infestation was wide spread by April 2004. Damage symptoms progress from water soaked lesions surrounding feeding ...
متن کاملSeashore Paspalum Offers Alternative for the Future
Beginning with funding from the USGA in 1993, a dedicated effort was initiated to genetically enhance seashore paspalum for golf course use. The grass has been around for centuries, actually evolving on sand dunes exposed only to ocean water in South Africa. It's somewhat ironic that this grass evolved in the same country as the African bermudagrass, but was never recognized for anything other ...
متن کاملImpact of Japanese beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) feeding on seashore paspalum.
Ten cultivars of seashore paspalum, Paspalum vaginatum Swartz, were compared for their response to Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newman, larval root feeding. Cultivars of Bermuda grass, Cynodon sp., and zoysiagrass, Zoysia sp., also were included for comparison. Turf grown in pots in the greenhouse was infested with second and third instars in this 2-yr study. Grub survival and weight gain...
متن کاملGrowth of seashore paspalum, (Paspalum vaginatum L) in soil contaminated with crude petroleum oil
The effect of crude oil contaminated soil on the growth of seashore Paspalum ( Paspalum vaginatum .) seedlings was investigated. Plants were grown in soil containing different concentrations: 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0% and 3% (w/w) of Abura crude petroleum oil. Growth parameter such as shoot number, shoot length, leaf area and biomass accumulation were evaluated. The results showed that crude oil imp...
متن کاملEvaluation of Turfgrasses for Resistance to Mole Crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllotalpidae)
Bermudagrass (Cynodon sp.) and paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum) genotypes were evaluated in laboratory, greenhouse, and field experiments for potential resistance to the common turfgrass pests, tawny mole cricket (Scapteriscus vicinus Scudder) and southern mole cricket (Scapteriscus borellii Giglio-tos). Potential resistance among 21 seashore paspalums to both insects in an environmental chamber a...
