Why is this important? Majorit of these grasses are nati e Majority of these grasses are native Use of the majority of these grasses for Conservation Reserve Program (CRP)Reserve Program (CRP) CRP “encourages farmers to convert highly erodible cropland or other environmentally sensitive acreage to vegetative cover”
Will any or all of these grasses serve as reservoirs for mites and/or viruses?mites and/or viruses?

Grass Study at Etter Mite sampling started Oct 2008 Mite sampling started Oct 2008 Each sample = 10 tillers per plot collected along a southwest to collected along a southwest to northeast transect
All mites from each tiller counted and recorded
Grasses tested with ELISA for WSMV WM V d T iMVWSMV, WMoV, and TriMV

SSummary Significantly more mites were found on switchgrass –S g ca t y o e tes e e ou d o s tc g assnative grass species
Mites were found on every sampling date Mite numbers were significantly higher on the blue grama that was under full irrigation
No plots positive for TriMV; only once was a plot positive for WSMV
ELISA results indicate more WMoV positi es in late ELISA results indicate more WMoV positives in late October & late May to mid June
Nearly half of the switchgrass plots were positive for Nearly half of the switchgrass plots were positive for WMoV on at least one date
