INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2.

Effects of Mowing on Annual Bluegrass Weevil
The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Agricultural Sciences EFFECTS OF MOWING ON ANNUAL BLUEGRASS WEEVIL, LISTRONOTUS MACULICOLLIS KIRBY (COLEOPTERA: CURCULIONIDAE) ADULT BEHAVIOR AND LARVAL DEVELOPMENT IN GOLF COURSE PUTTING GREENS A Thesis in Agronomy by Benjamin D. Czyzewski © 2016 Benjamin D. Czyzewski Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science December 2016 The thesis of Benjamin D. Czyzewski was reviewed and approved* by the following: Benjamin A. McGraw Associate Professor of Turfgrass Science Thesis Adviser Peter J. Landschoot Associate Professor of Turfgrass Science Director of Graduate Studies in Agronomy Maxim J. Schlossberg Associate Professor of Turfgrass Science Edwin G. Rajotte Professor of Entomology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii Abstract The annual bluegrass weevil (Listronotus maculicollis Kirby) is the most destructive insect pest of low-mown golf course turf in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic United States, and southeastern Canada. Golf course superintendents rely heavily on chemical controls, particularly on high-valued turf areas such as fairways, tees, greens, and their immediate surrounds (collars). These areas, particularly putting greens, are of the highest value to the course and the game of golf. Therefore, multiple insecticide applications, targeting both adults and larvae, are made throughout the year, often using the same insecticide classes. The overuse of insecticides, particularly the pyrethroids, has resulted in an increase in insecticide-resistant populations, and a dire need to develop alternative control strategies. I investigated the effect that cultural practices have on L. maculicollis survival, behavior, and development in golf course putting greens to determine if populations may be reduced in these areas without synthetic insecticides and to develop Best Management Practices (BMPs) for putting greens. -

Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae, Brachyceridae, Curculionidae) of the Prairies Ecozone in Canada
143 Chapter 4 Weevils (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae, Brachyceridae, Curculionidae) of the Prairies Ecozone in Canada Robert S. Anderson Canadian Museum of Nature, P.O.

Weevils are a diverse group of plant-feeding beetles and occur in most terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. This chapter documents the diversity and distribution of 295 weevil species found in the Canadian Prairies Ecozone belonging to the families Dryophthoridae (9 spp.), Brachyceridae (13 spp.), and Curculionidae (273 spp.). Weevils in the Prairies Ecozone represent approximately 34% of the total number of weevil species found in Canada. Notable species with distributions restricted to the Prairies Ecozone, usually occurring in one or two provinces, are candidates for potentially rare or endangered status. Résumé. Les charançons forment un groupe diversifié de coléoptères phytophages et sont présents dans la plupart des écosystèmes terrestres et dulcicoles. Le présent chapitre décrit la diversité et la répartition de 295 espèces de charançons vivant dans l’écozone des prairies qui appartiennent aux familles suivantes : Dryophthoridae (9 spp.), Brachyceridae (13 spp.) et Curculionidae (273 spp.). Les charançons de cette écozone représentent environ 34 % du total des espèces de ce groupe présentes au Canada. Certaines espèces notables, qui ne se trouvent que dans cette écozone — habituellement dans une ou deux provinces — mériteraient d’être désignées rares ou en danger de disparition. -

Pest Categorisation of Listronotus Bonariensis
SCIENTIFIC OPINION ADOPTED: 23 November 2017 doi: 10.2903/j.efsa.2018.5101 Pest categorisation of Listronotus bonariensis EFSA Panel on Plant Health (PLH), Michael Jeger, Claude Bragard, David Caffier, Thierry Candresse, Elisavet Chatzivassiliou, Katharina Dehnen-Schmutz, Gianni Gilioli, Jean-Claude Gregoire, Josep Anton Jaques Miret, Maria Navajas Navarro, Bjorn€ Niere, Stephen Parnell, Roel Potting, Trond Rafoss, Vittorio Rossi, Gregor Urek, Ariena Van Bruggen, Wopke Van der Werf, Jonathan West, Stephan Winter, Ciro Gardi, Filippo Bergeretti and Alan MacLeod Abstract The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Listronotus bonariensis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), the Argentine stem weevil, for the EU. L. bonariensis is a well-defined species, recognised as a serious pest of pasture grasses, especially Lolium spp. and Poa annua, in New Zealand, and a rare pest of cereals in Argentina, Brazil and New Zealand. Larvae feed within the tillers and stems of grasses; adults can cut emerging cotyledons although they usually graze on leaves. Larval damage is most serious. Larval feeding causes a reduction in pasture quality that impacts on the production of grazing animals. L. bonariensis is not known to occur in the EU and is listed in Annex IIAI of Council Directive 2000/29/EC. L. bonariensis established in New Zealand via imported grass seeds and has been intercepted on grass seeds entering the EU. Considering the climatic similarities of the regions where the pest occurs and the very great extent to which hosts are grown across the EU, L. bonariensis has the potential to establish within the EU with two or three generations possible per year. -
