Abstract
Nine bermudagrass, Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers., clones were evaluated for fall armyworm, Spodoptera fruġiperda (J. E. Smith). survival, developmental rate, pupal weight, leaf consumption, and preference. By using a host-suitability index, ‘Tifton 44’ was rated intermediately resistant and ‘Tifton 292’ was rated highly resistant to larval feeding. Preference tests showed that ‘Coastcross I’ was preferred over all other clones. The resistance in ‘Tifton 292’ is primarily antibiosis.
