| Abstract/Contents: | "Dollar spot, caused by Sclerotinia homoeocarpa, is a major turfgrass disease in North America, particularly on golf courses. The control of this disease relies mostly on repeated applications of synthetic fungicides. In the current context of reducing the use of pesticides, the availability of alternative methods to control dollar spot is regarded as a high priority by golf course superintendents. The objective of this study was to determine if soluble silicon, previously reported to reduce the incidence of fungal diseases in several crops, could be effective against dollar spot. In a greenhouse experiment, creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) was seeded in forestry tubes and treated with silicon at different concentrations (0.85 mM, 1.7 mM, and 3.4mM). Silicon provided a control of dollar spot similar to iprodione at an optimal concentration of 1.7 mM. In a field experiment on a golf course fairway, the development of dollar spot was delayed up to 3 days in plots treated with a solution of 1.7 mM of silicon. These results indicate that including silicon in a golf course fertility program could reduce the incidence of dollar spot and result in a decrease in fungicide use." |
