Abstract

No significant differences were found among 8 grasses as sites for oviposition by female moths of the grass webworm, Herpetogramma licarsisalis (Walker). Differences were found in total amount of larval feeding injury and the rate at which feeding injury developed on the different grasses. Common bermudagrass [ Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] and Tifway bermudagrass (C. dactylon × C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davey) showed the least feeding injury. Feeding injury developed faster on fine textured grasses than on coarse textured ones. Differences were also found in number of adults emerging from different grasses.
