Influence of fungicides on the curative and preventive suppression of select diseases of golf course putting greens, 2009-2010
نویسنده
چکیده
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 green. During the trial data was collected on two other turfgrass diseases that developed naturally in the study area. Additional disease data was collected on dollar spot and red leaf spot which are caused by the pathogens Sclerotinia homoeocarpa and Dreschlera erythrospila, respectively. The study was initiated in August 2009 and treatments were continued at various timings until 2010.

Anthracnose basal rot (Colletotrichum cereale) is a common and difficult to control disease of annual bluegrass (Poa annua) putting greens. While various cultural practices and fertility programs have been developed to reduce disease symptoms, fungicides are generally required to provide additional suppression. Due to the fact that anthracnose is generally more severe on under fertilized turfgr...
متن کاملA look at the diversity of rhizosphere bacteria in USGA putting greens
The soil environment immediately around a root frequently has a larger number of microorganisms compared to soil just a few millimeters away from a root. This zone of influence is called the rhizosphere (Rovira, 1991), which is composed of many groups of organisms that are capable of affecting plant health beneficially and deleteriously (Schippers et al., 1987). Putting greens are artificially ...

BACKGROUND Interspecific hybrid bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. x C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy] is one of the most widely used grasses on golf courses, with cultivars derived from 'Tifgreen' or 'Tifdwarf' particularly used for putting greens. Many bermudagrass cultivars established for putting greens can be genetically unstable and lead to the occurrence of undesirable off-type grasse...

The plant-endoparasitic nematode Anguina pacificae is presently one of the most destructive pests of Poa annua in Northern California, causing stem galls at the base of tillers in this annual bluegrass, resulting in yellow or brown patches and irregular surfaces on golf course putting greens. The objective of the study was to investigate the population dynamics of A. pacificae on two golf cours...
