| Abstract/Contents: | "Dollar spot is casued by Sclerotinia homoeocarpa F.T. Bennett, and the disease is one of the most important turfgrass diseases on creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) and annual bluegrass (Poa annua) in North America. The pathogen was first described in 1937 in the United Kingdom. Only reports from the UK have observed sexual or asexual spore production, and attempts elsewhere have not been successful. As a result, accurate identification and classification of this pathogen has been difficult, and attempts to resolve the classification of this pathogen has relied on the use of molecular techniques. Early research on dollar spot focused on the development of cultural, biological, and chemical management of the disease. Once fungicides were identified as being efficacious on dollar spot, their widespread use resulted in the development of fungicide resistance to many of the classes used in disease control. Fungicide use and availability has become more restricted, and therefore, recent research has sought to develop a better understanding of the biology and epidemiology of this important turfgrass pathogen so that other control measures are more effective. Disease resistant cultivars have also become more prevalent as chemical use has been restricted, and recent efforts to improve creeping bentgrass has resulted in traditionally developed varieties that are much less susceptible to dollar spot. Transgenic varieties expressing resistance have also been tested and show promise. Dollar spot continues to be a challenge to control, and understanding the history of research into the management of this disease will be critical to identifying new avenues of research on this important pathogen." |
