| Abstract/Contents: | "Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) is the premier grass for golf course putting greens and is one of the most desirable grasses for fairways and tee boxes for much of the USA. Recent breeding advances have demonstrated that genetic variation exists within creeping bentgrass for a range of pest resistances and stress tolerances. For many golf courses, maintenance of a high quality turf requires frequent, varied, and intensive pesticide applications. Our goal was to identify creeping bentgrass clones with multiple pest resistances for use in breeding new bentgrass varieties. Field evaluations of dollar spot and snow mold resistance of creeping bentgrass clones were highly successful, resulting in wide variation among clones. Multiple field sites and collaborators at different locations were essential, because of relatively low correspondence among locations, particularly for snow mold. The lack of correspondence among locations suggests the possibility of some fungal species-specific resistance for snow molds, and possibly some isolate-specific resistance for dollar spot. The small number of creeping bentgrass clones selected for superior resistance to dollar spot and snow molds represent a valuable genetic resource that should be useful in beginning to breed new varieties of creeping bentgrass and creeping x colonial bentgrass hybrids for multiple disease resistance." |
