| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles fairy ring, highlighting symptoms and causes. Discusses the three types of fairy ring symptoms "categorized by types based on the apperance of the affected turf and the surrounding area": type I, type II, and type III, stating that "type I symptoms are the most severe." Discusses a study conducted to "characterize soil chemical and physical properties associated with turf suffering from type I fairy ring." Describes data-collection methods, stating that "soil cores [were collected] from three turfgrass sites affected by type I fairy ring on a single fairway...[and] for each fairy ring site...12 cores from healthy turf inside the ring, 12 soil cores from healthy turf outside the ring and 12 soil cores from within the 'dead zone' [were also collected]." Reports that "soil pH was slightly higher in the necrotic zones...although fairy ring is presumed to occur in a wide range of soil pH." Concludes that "in this investigation, necrotic zones were associated with the fungi that cause fairy ring, which, either directly or indirectly, contributed to the development of soil-water repellency and the depletion of soil moisture. The effect of soil water repellency or soil hydrophobicity may have contributed to a decrease in soil microbial (bacterial) activity and an increase in the saprophytic activity of the basidiomycete fungi, and thereby an accumulation of ammonium and other harmful chemical and physical soil attributes that resulted in dead turfgrass." |
