Abstract/Contents:Profiles the annual bluegrass weevil, Listronotus maculicollis, stating that it "is a serious and expanding pest of close-cut annual bluegrass on golf courses through much of the Northeast [United States]." States that "multiple field trials have been conducted with endemic strains and commercial EPN [entomopathogenic nematode] products against first generation annual bluegrass weevil immature stages between 2005 and 2008." Reports that "overall, control levels were inconsistent, with the most consistent result observed with S. carpo-capsae." Concludes that "entomopathogenic nematodes can provide significant control of annual bluegrass weevil larvae."
