White grubs are the larval stage of various scarab beetles and chafers. They are plump, soft-bodied insects with a white or cream-colored body, a brown head, and six legs. These grubs are found curled up in a C-shape in the soil and can cause significant damage to lawns, gardens, and other agricultural crops by feeding on their roots. White grubs chew on the roots of plants, which can stunt growth, wilt leaves, and kill plants.
Environmental favorable factors for pests/Diseases:
- Temperature: White grubs prefer warm soil temperatures. Studies suggest a range between 20-32°C (68-90°F) to be optimal for their development
- Humidity: White grubs thrive in moderate to moist soil conditions.
Symptoms of Pest/Disease:
- Wilting or stunted plants
- Patches of dead plants
- Yellowing leaves
- Poor root development
