This chapter addresses the advances in turfgrass insect pest management. It starts by first reviewing the recent studies of major turfgrass insect pests, such as annual bluegrass weevil, bill bugs, white grubs and fall armyworm. The chapter then moves on to discuss recent studies on emerging turfgrass pests, focusing specifically on European crane flies and Chaetocnema minuta. A section on integrated pest management practices is also provided, drawing attention to methods such as pest detection and monitoring, chemical control, insecticide resistance and non-target issues with chemical insectides. The chapter also discusses biological control, cultural control, host plant tolerance and resistance to pests and the use of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria.
