First Report of Dollar Spot Caused by Sclerotinia homoeocarpa on Agrostis stolonifera in North Dakota

Diversity and Biology of the Dollar Spot Organism, Sclerotinia homoeocarpa, and Its Implications

Effect of Azoxystrobin on Dollar Spot Disease Development in Creeping Bentgrass (agrostis Stolonifera) and Kentucky Bluegrass (poa Pratensis)

Dollar spot disease, caused by the fungus Sclerotinia homoeocarpa F.T. Bennett is common on intensively managed creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) and annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.), and other turfgrasses. Frequent chemical applications during the growing season are made to control this disease. Previous observations state that application of fungicides such as azoxystrobin can incre...

Influence of fungicides on the curative and preventive suppression of select diseases of golf course putting greens, 2009-2010

Golf course putting greens may be affected by various turfgrass pests. Fungicide applications are often necessary on either a preventive or curative basis and may target more than one disease. The initial objective of this trial was to assess the ability of various fungicides to provide curative suppression of Type II fairy ring symptoms on a creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) putting gr...

Rapid development of fungicide resistance by Sclerotinia homoeocarpa on turfgrass.

Dollar spot, caused by Sclerotinia homoeocarpa, is the most prevalent and economically important turfgrass disease in North America. Increasing levels of fungicide resistance, coupled with tightening environmental scrutiny of existing fungicides, has left fewer options for managing dollar spot. More knowledge about S. homoeocarpa populations is needed to improve dollar spot management strategie...

The First Report of Postharvest Stem Rot of Kohlrabi Caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in Korea

In March 2014, a kohlrabi stem rot sample was collected from the cold storage room of Daegwallyong Horticultural Cooperative, Korea. White and fuzzy mycelial growth was observed on the stem, symptomatic of stem rot disease. The pathogen was isolated from the infected stem and cultured on potato dextrose agar for further fungal morphological observation and to confirm its pathogenicity, accordin...
