| Abstract/Contents: | "The role of silicon in suppressing foliar disease in warm season turf such as St. Augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum L.) and bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) was investigated. Both grasses accumulated silicon between 13 and 152% and 38 and 105%; respectively, over the non-amended control when calcium silicate was added to grass grown in soils deemed to be low or limiting in the element. The severities of gray leaf spot of St. Augustinegrass and Bipolaris leaf spot of bermudagrass were reduced between 5% and 38% by calcium silicate applications. When fungicides were used as a comparison to silicon for suppressing disease or in combination with fungicides at reduced rates, silicon was demonstrated to enhance reduced rate efficacy to be the same as full fungicide rate application. The use of silicon appears to be a good strategy for managing foliar disease of warm season turfgrasses, and may be a good option for commercial sod growers, golf course superintendents and homeowners." |
