постановление правительство 1278 от 02.11.2011 года, What is on my lawn? - Ask Extension, , , , , , .
Asked September 30, 2023, 1:52 PM EDT Over the past week I have seen these small white cotton ball like objects on my lawn, I am unsure of what they are. They are spread out with a few feet between sacs, not continuous like a fungal issue. They seem to be more like an egg sac than a cocoon, but I have not seen any insects around them. I am unsure if they are a harmful lawn invasion or the eggs of beneficial lawn insects. Can you help me identify them and provide suggestions for how to eradicate them (if they are harmful)? Thank you.Lawrence County OhioExpert Response The substance you see on the grass I believe is actually the foam produced by the spittlebug a member of the cercopoidea insect family. They most resemble leafhoppers because they can jump long distances. As nymphs of immature bugs, they feed on the blades of grass, The sap that they excrete mixes with air to make the foam white substance that will eventually encase them. The foam helps the nymph cling to the grass and gives a protective coating. Once they reach a mature stage they stop feeding and producing foam as they emerge fully as a developed spittlebug. They typically feed on legumes and grasses, but you can find them on other plants. They can cause serious damage to corn, sugarcane and pasture grasses. Most of my research says they are not a real threat unless you feel the infestation is severe and you see your grass dying as a result of them feeding. As far as how to eradicate, you can pull off the foam casings from the grass, squeeze the lymph from it and drown them in soapy water. a pesticide listing spittlebugs can also be applied to your lawn to control the infestation. Here are a few articles about them. Carol Greening Replied October 01, 2023, 8:16 PM EDT , They can cause serious damage to corn, sugarcane and pasture grasses.
