Abstract/Contents:Discusses the use of fertilizer as a potential treatment for dollar spot. Briefly profiles dollar spot, highlighting its symptoms, stating that "dollar spot is distinguished by characteristic lesions on the leaf blades of live plants near the border of the affected area. Lesions are light tan with a reddish-brown border, and usually radiate." Cites low nitrogen [N] levels as a potential cause of increased dollar spot severity. Suggests that "the beneficial effects of the nitrogen are due to rapid recovery of the turfgrass during periods of reduced disease activity and recommend the application of a fungicide labeled for the disease to prevent it." Presents the results of a study conducted to "evaluate the influence of nitrogen sources under different application regimes on turfgrass growth and quality." Reports that "turfgrass quality could not be maintained with a spray application of a liquid N solution alone. The incidence of dollar spot was reduced by the inclusion of a granular application of N along with the solution regime."
