Abstract/Contents: | Discusses turfgrass disease diagnosis, highlighting Mike Combs', superintendent at Orchard Hill Country Club in Washongal, Washington, experience diagnosing disease at his course. States that in 2003 "significant anthracnose pressure appeared on a couple of his Poa annua/bentgrass greens." Describes Combs' anthracnose control program, stating that it worked "everywhere but on these particular greens." States that "subsequent soil tests for nematodes helped solve the mystery and revealed that high populations of lesion, root knot and ring nematodes were at the root of the problem." Explains that "because anthracnose and nematode damage have similar visual symptoms, diagnosing the problem was complicated." Also discusses the role of nitrogen fertility in disease control. |
