| Abstract/Contents: | "The suppressive potential of nine composts manufactured from a variety of raw materials (i.e., chicken or horse manure, exhausted spent mushroom substrate, olive mill waste, leonardite, and yard or urban biowaste) from Greece (GR1, GR2, GR3, GR4, GR5, GR6, GR7), Israel(ISBS), France(CO4) and the Netherlands (DECO1), was evaluated in greenhouse bioassays against Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn, the pathogen responsible for brown patch disease of turfgrasses. Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb. cv. 'Tomahawk') and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L. cv. 'Applaud') were artificially inoculated with an aggressive R. solani isolate (Anastomosis Group 5) utilizing a novel inoculation method that permitted a controlled initiation of the disease. Pathogen inoculum was introduced as infested oat kernels at the time turfgrass seed was sown. Infection was initiated two weeks later by mowing turfgrass and providing the appropriate substrate moisture and ambient humidity for disease development. The composts CO4, GR5, GR7, and ISBS significantly suppressed disease symptoms in both turfgrass species compared with unamended control. When each species was examined separately compared with the unamended control, composts CO4, DECO1, GR1, GR2, GR5, GR7, and ISBS were more effective for suppressing brown patch in perennial ryegrass, while composts CO4, GR5, GR6, GR7, and ISBS were more effective versus brown patch in tall fescue." |
