Abstract/Contents:"Rapid blight is a disease of cool season turf grasses that has been problematic on golf courses over the past ten years. It has been reported in eleven states and in the United Kingdom to date. In most cases disease has occured in turfgrass irrigated with high salinity irrigation water. It affects turf varieties used for overseeding Bermuda including rough bluegrass (Poa trivialis), perennial rye (Lolium perenne), annual rye (Poa annua) and colonial bent (Agrostis tenuis). In 2003 the pathogen was shown to be a new Labyrinthula species, an organism in a group referred to as the marine slime molds, and was named Labyrinthula terrestris. Early laboratory trials showed that as salinity of irrigation water increased, severity of disease increased; recent studies have shown that disease development is dependent on salinity stress but not by stress induced by a non-ionic agent, polyethylene glycol. Like its marine relatives, L. terrestris grows best with NaCl amended media, but unlike them, it does not grow at the salinity of seawater. FField assays show that Bermudagrasses are hosts for L. terrestris, but appear to be unaffected. This relationship explains the recurrence of disease from one season to another."
