Abstract/Contents: | Discusses nematode populations in creeping bentgrass and annual bluegrass in the midwestern United States. States that "nematode thresholds on creeping bentgrass/annual bluegrass in the midwest are very poorly understood. It is known that different species of turfgrass will have varying tolerance of nematodes...but it is also true that regional weather conditions also play a huge role in determining the amount of nematode feeding a plant can withstand." Suggests that "while it is possible nematodes caused significant damage to Wisconsin turfgrass roots in the summer of 2005, it is more likely...that nematodes were just one of the many stresses that added up to be too much for some turf." Concludes that "heat, humidity, and extreme drought coupled with the intense cultural practices that were employed throughout the summer look to be the primary reasons for turf decline, and some minor nematode feeding may have enhanced the damage. Until more midwestern studies are done looking at nematode pathogenic to turfgrass, the debate will continue to rage on." |
