Plant growth regulators are known to influence a plant's characteristics and therefore can be used as an alternative strategy in making Blissus insularis Barber (Hemiptera: Blissidae) habitat unfavorable for this insect's survival. The reduction of B. insularis population densities following the application of mefluidide and trinexapac-ethyl in field plots indicated the indirect effect of plant growth regulator application on B. insularis for its management in St. Augustinegrass.
