چکیده

The effect of Tylenchorhynchus nudus on growth of Kentucky bluegrass was investigated under controlled environmental conditions in both a phytotron and a greenhouse. The nematode significantly reduced weights of clippings, crowns and roots. Pathogenicity was greater in sandy loam soil than in loam and was enhanced by submitting plants to nutrient and/or moisture stresses; soil nutrient level was most critical. The results suggest that T. nudus contributes significantly to summer decline of bluegrass lawns in South Dakota.

Root Growth of Bentgrass and Annual Bluegrass as Influenced by Coinfection with Tylenchorhynchus nudus and Magnaporthe poae.

A study was conducted in growth chambers to examine main factor and interaction effects of Tylenchorhynchus nudus and Magnaporthe poae on creeping bentgrass and annual bluegrass at 24, 28, and 30 C. A 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments was employed with presence and absence of T. nudus and M. poae as factors with each temperature run separately for 14 or 18 days. Tylenchorhynchus nudus d...

Population response to temperature in the subfamily tylenchorhynchinae.

The effects of temperature on population development of 11 species of stunt nematodes in the subfamily Tylenchorhynchinae were compared on red clover or Kentucky bluegrass in constant-temperature tanks at 5-degree intervals from 10 to 35 C. The optimum temperature for population increase on red clover in 90 days was 30 C for Tylenchorhynchus agri, T. nudus, T. martini, and T. clarus, 25 C for T...

The Enhancement of Drought Stress Tolerance of Kentucky Bluegrass by Prohexadione-Calcium Treatment

Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) is one of the most widely used turfgrasses for home lawns, golf courses, parks, and athletic fields in temperate climates. Oxidative stress caused by drought stress is a major limiting factor for grass cultivation in arid and semi-arid regions. The objective of this study was to investigate whether Prohexadione-Calcium (Pro-Ca) may play a role in promoting ...

Salinity Tolerance of Kentucky Bluegrass as Affected by Salicylic Acid

Salinity is one of the greatest environmental challenges facing plant growth and development in the 21st century. Salicylic acid (SA) is a phenolic compound and signal molecule involved in the regulation of plants responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. This greenhouse experiment was conducted to determine effects of SA application on Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) responses to salinit...

Influence of Irrigation and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora on Plant-parasitic Nematodes in Turf.

Daily irrigated, 80% pan replacement, and nonirrigated field plots of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) were inoculated with a mixture of Steinernema carpocapsae (All strain) and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (HP-88 strain) in 1988. In 1989, daily irrigated and nonirrigated plots were inoculated with HP-88 alone. The turf and associated soil contained populations of Tylenchorhynchus dubius,...
