Bermudagrass mite (Acari: Eriophyidae) infestation worsens in response to increasing nitrogen fertility and decreasing irrigation volume but not mowing height. [PDF]
J Econ Entomol, 2023 AbstractSevere bermudagrass mite (Aceria cynodoniensis Sayed) infestation stunts turfgrass growth and reduces the aesthetic and recreational value of managed bermudagrass. Management practices, such as fertilization, mowing, and irrigation, may impact bermudagrass mite infestation and damage, but empirical evidence is lacking.

Red bermudagrass mite severely reduces growth in hybrid bermudagrass [PDF]
International Turfgrass Society Research Journal, 2021 AbstractMite infestations are widely recognized as reducing the growth of affected warm‐season turfgrasses. This observation is, however, a qualitative assessment, albeit based on extensive field observations over the past >60 yr, and the level of reduced growth has never previously been quantified.

Limited sex differences in plastic responses suggest evolutionary conservatism of thermal reaction norms: A meta-analysis in insects. [PDF]
Evol Lett, 2022 Abstract Temperature has a profound effect on the growth and development of ectothermic animals. However, the extent to which ecologically driven selection pressures can adjust thermal plastic responses in growth schedules is not well understood. Comparing temperature‐induced plastic responses between sexes provides a promising but underexploited ...

Biology and Management of the Bermudagrass Mite, Eriophyes cynodoniensis
EDIS, 2018 The bermudagrass mite, Eriophyes cynodoniensis (Sayed) (Arthropoda: Arachnida: Eriophyidae), also known as the couch grass mite, can be a serious pest of bermudagrass in multiple high-maintenance turf systems such as sod production, athletic fields, and golf courses.

Effect of antecedent drought stress on spring green‐up in turf‐type bermudagrasses
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 6, Issue 2, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Winterkill is a major concern for turf‐type bermudagrasses [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. and C. dactylon (L.) Pers. × C. transvaalensis Burtt‐Davy] when cultivated in the US transition zone and frequently occurring drought conditions challenge bermudagrass management.

Development of winter hardy, fine‐leaf zoysiagrass hybrids for the upper transition zone
Crop Science, Volume 62, Issue 6, Page 2486-2505, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract A 10‐yr, four‐phase collaborative effort among three universities was conducted to develop new hybrid zoysiagrasses (Zoysia spp. Willd.) with improved turf quality, winter hardiness, and pest resistance in comparison to commercial zoysiagrass cultivars, especially ‘Meyer’ (Z. japonica Steud.).

Drought response of 10 bermudagrass genotypes under field and controlled environment conditions
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 5, Issue 4, 2022., 2022 Abstract Fresh water scarcity is increasingly affecting urban landscapes, and the best strategy for sustaining the turfgrass industry would be to create, select, and use drought‐resistant genotypes. Bermudagrasses (Cynodon spp.) have different mechanisms to survive drought stress either by growing long roots, stomatal regulation, or accumulating ...

A new species of Abacarus Keifer (Acari: Eriophyidae) from Brazil [PDF]
, 2021 Zoysiagrass is an important ornamental and turfgrass cultivated in different countries. Recently, damage to this plant, characterized by a type of witch’s broom and stunting were observed in southern Brazil, suggesting possible attack by mites.
