Fungicides affect Japanese beetle <i>Popillia japonica</i> (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) egg hatch, larval survival and detoxification enzymes

Abstract

Fungicide applications to turfgrass that coincide with oviposition and egg hatch of white grubs may have sublethal effects. This work is applicable both to high-maintenance turfgrass such as golf courses, where applications of pesticides are more frequent, and to home lawn services, where mixtures of multiple pesticides are commonly used.
