Turf is the most favoured host of the larval stage of this pest
but the roots of other plants are also attacked. Adults are heavy feeders,
attacking both foliage and fruit of more than 250 host plants. The following is
a partial list of plants severely injured by the Japanese beetle: elm, maple,
grape vine, peach, apple, apricot, cherry, plum, rose, zinnia, corn, asparagus,
soybean, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. |
