                        TURF PEST MANAGEMENT SUGGESTIONS


                                    PREFACE

According to the Federal Environmental Pesticide Control Act, all pesticides
must be handled and applied in strict accordance with directions on the
pesticide container label.  The plant must be listed on the label; however,
the 1978 amended law allows the grower to apply against pests not specifically
listed on the label.  Also, if a pesticide is used inside the greenhouse, it
must be labeled for greenhouse use.

To the best of our knowledge, the suggested pesticides in this section are
labeled on the crops discussed.  However, pesticide labels differ widely in
plant and insect listings.  Some are broad ornamental labels and others
specifically list certain plants for which the pesticide is labeled.  READ THE
LABEL CAREFULLY.

\h 2 'Chinch Bugs'


                        Common Lawn and Turfgrass Pests
                  (description, life history, injury symptoms)

Chinch Bug:

GENERAL INFORMATION:  The one most common in Florida is the southern chinch
bug Blissus insularis Barber.

DESCRIPTION:  Adults are about 1/5 inch long, black with white patches on
wings which are folded over the back.  Young (nymphs) range from 1/20 inch
long to nearly adult size. The smallest chinch bugs are reddish with a white
band across the back but darken and become black in color as they near adult
size.

LIFE CYCLE:  Sometimes adults hibernate in winter in northern Florida, but all
stages present year-round in most of the state.  Eggs are laid in leaf sheaths
or crevices and cracks in nodes and other protected places.  In summer they
hatch in 1 to 1 1/2 weeks.  Young develop to adults in 4 to 5 weeks.  Adults
may live for weeks.
\h 2 'Sod Webworms'


Sod Webworms:

GENERAL INFORMATION:  In Florida, particularly in summer and fall, the most
common found is Herpetogramma phaeopteralis Guenee.  Crambus spp. also occurs,
especially in the spring and early summer.

DESCRIPTION:  Larvae of both species grow to 3/4 inch in length; and are
spotted and greenish in color.  Adults are dingy brown moths with wingspread
of about 3/4 inch.

\bLIFE CYCLE:  Adults of both species lay eggs in grass.  Eggs hatch in about 1
week.  Larvae feed on grass blades and grow large enough to cause noticeable
injury within 2 weeks.  They feed on grass during the next 1 to 1 1/2 weeks
until pupation.  Adults appear about 1 week later.  They complete their life
cycle in 5 to 6 weeks and have several generations a year.
\h 2 'Armyworms'


Armyworms:

GENERAL INFORMATION:  The most common one is the fall armyworm Spodoptera
frugiperda (J. E. Smith).

DESCRIPTION:  Caterpillar grows to 1 1/2 inches long.  Greenish when small;
dark brown when full grown.  It has a light midstripe along the back with
darker bands on each side of the midstripe. The midstripe ends in an inverted
"Y" on the head. Adults are brownish moths with a wingspread about 1 1/2
inches.

LIFE CYCLE:  The moth lays eggs on grass and on almost any object near lawns.
Development is much like the sod webworm.  Armyworms pupate in the soil,
however.
\h 2 'Ground Pearls'


Ground Pearls:

GENERAL INFORMATION:  Margarodes spp.

DESCRIPTION:  These are scale insects that live in the soil.  Immatures are
spherical, and range in size from a grain of sand to about 1/16 inch in
diameter and are yellowish-purple in color.  The adult female is 1/16 inch
long, pink in color, with well developed forelegs and claws. Adults males are
tiny gnat like insects.

LIFE CYCLE:  The eggs are laid in the soil from March to June.  The life cycle
from egg to adult requires at least one year and possibly two years.
\h 2 'Mole Crickets'


Mole Crickets:

GENERAL INFORMATION:  The principal ones found in Florida are the southern
mole cricket, Scapteriscus acletus R. and H., and the Tawny mole cricket, S.
vicinus Scudd.

DESCRIPTION:  Large crickets grow to be 1 1/2 inches long.  They have a
covering of fine brown hair giving them a velvety appearance.  The front legs
are flattened and adapted for burrowing.

LIFE CYCLE:  The adult lays approximately 120 eggs in underground cells.  The
nymphs develop throughout the summer and most are adults by fall.  Most eggs
are deposited in May.
\b\v
\h 2 'White Grubs'
\v
\v
White Grubs:

GENERAL INFORMATION:  There are a complex of four genera in Florida:
Bothynis, Strategus, Cyclocephala and Phyllophaga.

DESCRIPTION:  Larvae are fat grubs which lie in C-shaped positions.They are
whitish in color with dark areas at the rear and a brownish head.  The adults
are beetles.

LIFE CYCLE:  The adults lay eggs in the soil.  Grubs live in the soil and feed
on roots.  Different species take varying times to complete the life cycle of
1 to 4 years.  The adults do not feed on grass.
\h 2 'Bermudagrass Mites'


Bermudagrass Mite:

GENERAL INFORMATION:  Aceria cynodoniensis (Hassan)

DESCRIPTION:  These mites are extremely tiny with the largest being only about
1/125 inch long, and not visible to the naked eye. The mites are creamy white
in color and somewhat wormlike in shape.

LIFE CYCLE:  The life cycle is very short requiring only about a week.  The
eggs are placed under the leaf sheath and after hatching there are probably
two molts before the adult stage is reached. All stages are found together
under the leaf sheaths and many may be crowded under each sheath.
\h 2 'Hunting Billbugs'


Hunting Billbug:

GENERAL INFORMATION:  Sphenophourus venatus verstita (Chttn.)

DESCRIPTION:  Larvae are white, legless grubs growing to 3/8 inch in length.
Adults are black beetles (weevils) with chewing mouthparts at the end of the
"bill" and are about 3/8 inch long.

LIFE CYCLE:  Adults lay eggs near the crown of the plant.  The larvae live in
soil and feed on roots and underground runners.  They pupate in the soil.
\h 2 'Two-Lined Spittle Bugs'


Two-lined Spittle Bug:

GENERAL INFORMATION:  Prosapia bicincta.

DESCRIPTION:  The nymphs are white in color and live within a mass of spittle
they secrete.  Adults are 1/4 inch long, black with two reddish-orange
transverse bands on the wings.

LIFE CYCLE:  The eggs are laid at the base of grass in the thatch. The life
cycle requires about 2 1/2 months and there are two generations per year,
over-wintering is in the egg stage.
\b\v
\h 2 'Scale Insects'
\v
\v
Scale Insects:

GENERAL INFORMATION:  Rhodesgrass scale (Antonina graminis (Mask.));
Bermudagrass scale, (Odonaspis ruthae Kot)

DESCRIPTION:  The body of the Rhodesgrass scale is roughly spherical, dark but
covered with white cottony secretion, and up to 1/8 inch in diameter.  The
Bermudagrass scale has a solid, parchment-like covering, oval or nearly
circular in outline and 1/25 to 1/15 inch in diameter.  They are whittish in
color.

LIFE CYCLE:  The adult female lays eggs within the secreted covering.  The
crawlers hatch and disperse through the grass before settling down to feed.
They begin to secrete their covering and do not move again.

        Pest Management Suggestions for Common Lawn and Turfgrass Pests

Southern Chinch Bug:

CULTURAL CONTROLS: Consult the local cooperative extension office for minimal
fertility recommendations for St. Augustinegrass.  Reduced amounts of nitrogen
result in less chinch bug problems.  Also, less damage occurs when water
insoluble nitrogen is applied as opposed to water soluble sources.  Mow St.
Augustinegrass at correct height: 3 inches in sun areas and 4 inches in shaded
areas.  Keep mower blade sharp. Control of thatch will reduce chinch bug
numbers and pesticides will be more effective if they are required where
thatch is not allowed to buildup.  To preserve beneficial arthropods and reduce
environmental contamination, monitor turf area regularly and spot treat
damaged area and a five foot area surrounding it.  Re-check for control in
2-3 days.  Spot treat again if necessary.  If St. Augustine is being
established or replaced use the Floratam variety.

\h 2 'Mole Crickets'



Mole Crickets:

CULTURAL CONTROLS:  In order for grass to better tolerate damage do not mow
shorter than recommended heights:  Bahia 3" St. Augustine 3", Centipede 2",
Bermuda 3/16 - 1/2", depending on variety.  Do not allow turf to dry out
excessively.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Only a few formulations of recommended insecticides are listed to serve as
examples.  Many others are avialable.  READ CONTAINER CAREFULLY FOR USE
DIRECTIONS, APPLICATION TECHNIQUES, IRRIGATION REQUIREMENTS AND PRECAUTIONS.
**Suggested for homeowner application only.
***Applications on lawns must be made only by certified pest control operators.

NOTE:  Proper timing of pesticide application is extremely important.
Where economic damage has occurred in previous years, apply sprays or granules
during mid-June or a bait during the later part of June or early July.
Pesticides may also be applied when damage appears in spring due to egg-laying
activity or during August, September, or October, but will not be as effective
at these times due to maturity of the crickets.  Irrigate before application
of any pesticide if the soil is not moist.  Irrigate after applying sprays or
granules with 1/2 inch water.  Do not irrigate after applying baits for 3 - 4
days if possible.

AN IMPROVED HOME-MADE MOLE CRICKET BAIT:  An improved formula of the home-made
malathion bait developed at the University of Florida several years ago is now
available.  The bait is the result of several years work by personnel in the
Department of Entomology and Nematology.  The new formulation has consistently
proven to be as effective, and in most field evaluations, more effective than
commercially prepared baits.  When using the recommended formula, the
home-made bait is also very economical.

The formula and directions for mixing the bait in 50 lb batches is as follows:

    50 pounds crumbled laying mash (such as Purina Layena)
    2  quarts 50-57% malathion emulsifiable concentrate
    3  pints crude cottonseed oil (do not substitute any other type of
       vegetable oil)
    6  pounds granulated (table) sugar

Dissolve the sugar in 2 quarts water by thorough stirring (hot water works
best).  Add the cottonseed oil and malathion to the sugar water and stir.  Use
a 2 or 3 gallon knapsack sprayer with nozzle tip removed to spray ingredients
on the laying mash while turning in cement mixer.  Put the mixed bait back
into the laying mash bag, which should be lined with a plastic garbage bag,
and store for 1 to 2 days before application.  This is important in order to
allow the mash to thoroughly absorb the excess moisture making application
less difficult.  The bait will mold if not applied within 4 to 5 days after
mixing.
\v
\bCalibrate a three point hitch cyclone fertilizer spreader to apply 12 1/2 to
15 pounds of bait per acre.  Cost of ingredients is approximately $4.50 per
acre at the 12 1/2 lb rate.  Apply bait as late in the afternoon as possible.
The optimum time of year for application is during July prior to the extensive
damage that occurs in August, September and October.

In field evaluations during 1984, 1985 and 1986, we were able to control over
80% of the mole cricket population with one application.

At the time of this writing, there were no cottonseed oil plants in Florida;
however, there are several in the southeastern United States where oil may be
purchased:

\h 2 'Bermudagrass Mites'
\v

Bermudagrass Mite:

CULTURAL CONTROLS:  Collect grass clippings and destroy to help avoid
dispersing mites.  In general, as mowing height is decreased, mite
infestations are decreased.  Keep all areas of bermudagrass mowed as close as
practical.  Infestations usually develop in the taller grass (rough areas,
around sand traps, along canals, fence rows, etc.)  Addition of wetting agent
to spray mixture will aid in control.
