Studies have evaluated the resistance of cultivars and blends of kentucky bluegrass to the bluegrass billbug (Ahmad and Funk, Zoysiagrass Genotypes Differ in 1982; Lindgren et al., 1981; Shearman et al., 1983).

It is intended as a communication link for workers throughout the world who are interested in the research and development of groundnut, Arachis hypogaep, or peanut, and its wild relatives. The Newsletter is therefore a vehicle for the publication of brief statements of advances in scientific research that have current-awareness value to peer scientists, particularly those working in developing countries. Contributions to the Newsletter are selected for their news interest as well as their scientific content, in the expectation that the work reported may be further developed and formally published later in refereed journals. It is thus assumed that Newsletter contribu­ tions will not be cited unless no alternative reference is available. Style and Form for Contributions We will carefully consider all submitted contributions and will include in the Newsletter those that are of acceptable scientific standard and conform to the requirements given below. The language for the Newsletter is English, but we will do our best to translate articles submitted in other languages. Authors should closely follow the style of reports in this issue.

Extent of Larval Populations of Turfgrass Insect Pests at Rocky Ford Turfgrass Research Center at Manhattan, KS Abstract Many insect pests have a larval or grub stage that resides belowground and feeds on turfgrass roots (Potter, 1998; Vittum et al., 1999; Held and Potter, 2012). The major belowground insect pests (white grubs) associated with turfgrass throughout Midwestern states that are present in Kansas include: May/ June beetles (Phyllophaga spp), masked chafers (Cyclocephala spp), and bluegrass billbug (Sphenophorus parvulus) (Miller et al., 2013).

  • BLUEGRASS BILLBUG (Sphenophorus Parvulus) Prepared
    BLUEGRASS BILLBUG (Sphenophorus parvulus) Prepared by: Dr. M. Keith Kennedy Extension Specialist Department of Entomology Michigan State University The bluegrass billbug is a common turf pest which occasionally causes extensive damage to home lawns. These beetles are named because of their long snout or "bill" which ends in a set of small mandibles or jaws. They are usually seen in the spring (April-early May) or late fall (September- October) wandering about on sidewalks, drive ways, or patio's. The presence of billbugs in the lawn is generally not detected until the first signs of damage appear. Often this damage is attributed to other causes. The following information should assist you in becoming more familiar with this turf pest. Sphenophorus parvulus Hpsts Kentucky Bluegrass (Poa pratensis) Characteristic Damage spotty dead patches of turf scattered throughout the laWn in July and August. How to Recognize Adults - dull grey (lots of scales) to black or brown beetles, h+h" long, with a snout or bill. Adults have wings but seldqft fly* Larvae - white, leggless, 5/8" long, humpbacked grubs with a yellow to brown head capsule. Adult Larva l/l^icich 1/If. inch Damaging Stages adults feed on grass blades or stems but the major damage is caused by larvae feeding in the stem and roots. Life Cycle Billbugs overwinter as adults and become active as temperatures begin to warm in April. Eggs are first laid in grass stems in early May but most eggs are deposited in early June. (See Fig- 1) Eggs hatch in two weeks and the larvae tunnel down through the grass stem into the crown and eventually settle the roots.
