Evaluation Of Warm-Season Turfgrasses For Resistance To The Chinch Bug, Blissus Occiduus, Thomas E. Eickhoff, Tiffany Heng-Moss, Frederick P. Baxendale
Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications
The chinch bug, Blissus occiduus Barber, has been documented as a serious pest of buffalograss, Buchloe dactyloides (Nutall) Engelmann, and zoysiagrass, Zoysia japonica Steudel, turf grown in the Midwest. In addition to these two warm-season turfgrasses, several other warm-season grasses, including bermudagrass, Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers., may also be at risk of B. occiduus infestations. This research evaluated selected bermudagrass and zoysiagrass cultivars for resistance to B. occiduus. Eleven zoysiagrass and four bermudagrass cultivars were evaluated for resistance to B. occiduus using no-choice studies under greenhouse conditions. Based on turfgrass damage ratings, the zoysiagrasses ‘Diamond’, ‘Zoro’, and ‘Emerald’, and bermudagrass …
