Abstract:
... Field and greenhouse tests of selected small grain cultivars disclosed large differences in their resistance to Phyllophaga congrua (LeConte) white grubs. Resistance was evidenced first in a field plot test of four cultivars each of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), oats (Avena sativa L.), and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) (Poaceae). P. congrua white grubs that were present at planting caused high rates ...

Abstract:
... Fifty-nine sweetpotato cultivars, including 16 heirlooms, 11 near-heirlooms (developed in the 1960s and 1970s), 19 cultivars from the 1980s, and 13 modern varieties (since 1990), were evaluated for resistance to soil insects in field experiments during 2010–2011 at the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agriculture Research Service, U.S. Vegetable Laboratory (USDA-ARS, USVL), Charleston, SC.
