White grubs, a general name. Ascerno. Figure 1. Grub. Identification: White grubs is a general name for the grub (larval) stage of beetles in the family Scarabaeidae, order Coleoptera (beetles) that feed on the roots of turf (Figure 1) .amage, scouting, and management: Larvae feed on the roots of turf grasses and adults feed on roses, phlox, and petunias, although they are active at night and more cryptic compared to Japanese beetle. A good pheromone trap is available.
Parent material is the underlying geological material (generally bedrock or a superficial or drift deposit) in which soil horizons form.cean deposited parent materials, called marine sediments, are collections of material that have been carried by rivers and streams to the ocean and eventually sink to the bottom.
Organic materials used for compost should include a mixture of brown organic material (dead leaves, twigs, manure) and green organic material (lawn clippings, fruit rinds, etc.). Brown materials supply carbon, while green materials supply nitrogen. The best ratio is 1 part green to 1 part brown material.f the pile is too wet, turn the pile and mix the materials. Another option is to add dry, brown organic materials. Oxygen is needed to support the breakdown of plant material by bacteria. To supply oxygen, you will need to turn the compost pile so that materials at the edges are brought to the center of the pile.
