Abstract/Contents: | "Dollarspot, caused by Lanzia sp. and/or Moellerodiscus sp., is a serious disease of turfgrass in cool humid climates. Fungicide application programs, based on the Hall and Mills and Rothwell (M & R) dollarspot forecasting systems for creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.), were compared with fungicide application schedules of 7, 14, and 21 d in 1983 and a schedule of 10 d in 1984. In both years, programs based on the Hall system failed to provide acceptable disease control (<1 dollarspot m-2 of turf) with chlorothalonil applied at 5.7 kg a.i. ha-1. In 1983, the same dosage of chlorothalonil applied according to the M & R system or a 70d spray schedule resulted in acceptable disease control over a 70-d test period. Spray schedules of 14 and 21 did not provide acceptable control. In 1984, the M & R systems and a 10-d spray schedule resulted in significant disease control over a 44-d test period. Increases in the incidence of dollarspot were observed on 20 and 18 d in 1983 and 1984, respectively. The M & R system's critical weather criteria, used to select the time for fungicide applications, were met on 48 and 35 d in 1983 and 1984, respectively. This overestimation of disease indicated that the success of the M & R system was a result of prediction frequency and not prediction accuracy. Failure of the system was a result of prediction frequency and not prediction accuracy. Failure of the Hall system was attributed to its ability to predict disease on only 17% of the occasions when increases in disease incidence were observed." |
