Abstract/Contents:"A simple inoculation technique, which uses small plastic boxes as field inoculation chambers, was developed to enhance disease development in turfgrass inoculated with Pythium aphanidermatum. When temperatures were favorable and relative humidity was high under the plastic boxes, disease severity attained 70 to 90% in untreated controls. This technique was used to screen several fungicides for efficacy in controlling Pythium blight over four years. Preventative treatments of azoxystrobin, mefenoxam, and fosetyl-Al were highly effective in controlling Pythium blight even under very high disease pressure. Curatively, mefenoxam and azoxystrobin also controlled Pythium blight, if applied as soon as symptoms (ā‰¤ 5% disease severity) were detected."
