Abstract/Contents:Discusses turf diseases, many of which are "varieties of cool- and warm-season grasses." States that "changes [in turf varieties and maintenance practices] have an impact on fungal pathogens and the turf's susceptibility to attack by these microorganisms." Profiles diseases, including anthracnose, dead spot, rapid blight, pythium root dysfunction, and fairy ring. Includes the sources of turf diseases, including Colletotrichum cereale, Ophiosphaerella agrostis, and Pythium volutum. Describes symptoms of turf diseases and discusses possible methods of reducing them. Concludes that "as the turfgrass industry continues to advance, new diseases will continue to appear, old ones will become more damaging and others may go away entirely."
