Researchers with the Texas
Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion have found two varieties
of St Augustinegrass to be
resistant to damaging chinch
bug infestations.
The Southern chinch bug,
one of the most serious pests
to St Augustinegrass, has
been infesting Texas lawns for
more than 20 years and
populations of chinch bugs
have grown alarmingly during
the last few years.
The two resistant varieties
were tested by Dr Richard L.
Duble and his co-workers in
the Soil and Crop Sciences
Department at Texas A4M
University.
Duble, an assistant profes-
sor of turf, initiated the search
several years ago and tested
several thousand seedlings
and selections before reaching
success with two resistant
varieties.
“These two varieties have
remained healthy while all
other varieties, including
common St. Augustinegrass,
were killed in the tests we
conducted," Duble comment-
ied
One of the two varieties,
Floratam, was jointly releas-
ed by the Florida and Texas
Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tions early last summer. This
grass is being propagated by
Texas sod growers and will be
available to Texas homeown-
ers in a limited supply this
summer
“In addition to being
resistant to chinch bug
infestations, Floratam was
also found to be resistant to
the St Augustine Decline
(SAD) virus by Dr R. W
Toler with the Experiment
Station Texas homeowners
lose several million dollars
annually from damages caus-
ed by these two pests,” the
researcher added
"Floratam may not be the
final answer to St. Augustine-
grass lawn problems, but it
does provide protection again-
st chinch bugs and SAD,"
Duble pointed out.
The other chinch bug
resistant variety is still in the
experimental stage, but it has
also shown good resistance to
SAD.
Floratam can be distin-
guished from the common
Texas variety by its darken
green color, wider and longer
leaf, larger stem and coarser
texture. Floratam also grows
faster than most common St.
Augustinegrass and may
require more frequent mow-
ing. The mowing height should
be raised to two inches for
Floratam to compensate for
its coarse texture and growth
rate, added Duble.

How do inspectors assure
that customers have a high
quality meat supply?
Bailey lists some of the
functions of meat plant
inspectors as follows:
1. Inspect all animals before
slaughter to assure that they
have no infections or diseases
2. Examine animal organs
and check all equipment used
in dressing animals.
3. Examine water, salt,
spice, sugar or other ingredi-
ents used in ground or
