Abstract/Contents:Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Establish a regional center to identify genotypes of Cynodon, Zoysia, Buchloe, Paspalum, Agrostis, and Poa with genetic resistance to insects and mites (i.e., fall armyworms, black cutworm, sod webworms, greenbug and host-specific eriophyid mites) for use in cooperating turf breeding programs. 2. Bioassay resistant lines with insect diets to characterize the mechanisms of resistance and determine their bio-chemical nature. 3. Develop effective and efficient procedures to accommodate screening and identify typical breeding populations previously unavailable to plant breeders." Lists bermudagrass cultivars considered highly susceptible to mite infestation, noting that "nine bermudagrass lines have been identified with resistance to bermudagrass mite, Eriophyes cynodoniensis." Also mentions that hunting billbug resistance was discovered in zoysiagrass. This five-year study began in 1998.

USGA Summary Points:Evaluating insect resistance/tolerance of bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, buffalograss, seashore paspalum, bentgrass, and bluegrass. Nine bermudagrass lines have been identified with resistance to bermudagrass mite, Eriophyes cynodoniensis. Hunting billbug resistance found in zoysiagrass. Bermudagrass and zoysiagrass screened for resistance to armyworm and other Lepidoptera species.
