| Abstract/Contents: | "High plant silicon (Si) content, which makes grasses more difficult for herbivores to chew and digest, is associated with insect resistance in several Poaceous crops. We evaluated if fertilization with Si enhances resistance of 'Penncross' creeping bentgrass to two major insect pests: foliage-feeding black cutworms, and root-feeding masked chafer grubs. Prilled calcium silicate fertilizer (Excellerator) applied to fairway-height turf on silt loam soil elevated leaf Si by as much as 40% without reducing palatability or suitability for cutworms. Rates as high as 3,363 kg of product per ha also did not reduce density or weight of naturally-occurring chafer grubs. Sodium silicate drenches that elevated leaf Si content of greenhouse-grown bentgrass from 0.5 to 2.5% did not reduce cutworm feeding or survival, caused no inordinate erosion of mandibular teeth, and had only small effects on larval growth rates. Our results suggest that Si fertilization is unlikely to enhance creeping bentgrass resistance to key insect pests." |
