| Abstract/Contents: | "Endophytes provide improved insect resistance to many turfgrass species, however their association with improved disease resistance has not been frequently reported. Red thread and pink patch caused by Laetisaria fuciformis (McAlp.) Burdsall and Limnomyces roseipellis Stalpers & Loerakker, respectively, are the most important diseases affecting the turf performance of fine fescue species. A study was initiated to determine the effects of different endophyte sources in strong creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra L. subsp. rubra) and Chewings fescue (Festuca rubra L. subsp. fallax (Thuill) Nyman). Five fine fescue genotypes (two strong creeping red fescue and three Chewings fescue) were inoculated with different endophytes originating from fine fescues and Poa ampla Merr. Progeny turf plots of each endophyte-host genotype combination along with corresponding non-endophyte-infected genotypes were established in a mowed turf evaluation trial in September 1997 at Adelphia, NJ. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. A natural outbreak of red thread occurred in both spring 2001 and 2002. Turf quality (which utilized a 1 to 9 scale, 9 representing best turf quality) and percent red thread were evaluated in both years. Significant differences in red thread severity were observed between endophyte-infected and endophyte-free plots within the same host genotype. For three genotypes (1090,1117, and 1139) at least one endophyte source significantly reduced red thread severity in both 2001 and 2002. In 2002, all endophyte sources significantly reduced red thread severity in these three genotypes. Different endophyte sources had different effects on red thread depending on the genotype inoculated. The Rose City endophyte showed the most consistent reduction in red thread severity, in several host genotypes, compared to the other endophyte sources. This finding suggests that utilizing Chewings and strong creeping red fescue infected with endophytes may help suppress red thread and improve turf quality in addition to the documented improved insect resistance." |
