| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses spring dead spot (SDS), stating that it "is a particularly devastating perennial disease to Bermudagrass because the pathogen begins its colonization by infecting turfgrass roots, stolons, and rhizomes." Explains that "SDS is most active when temperatures and soil moisture favor fungal growth. Bermudagrass becomes most susceptible when growth slows in the early fall and spring during periods of cool, wet weather." Suggests potential methods of SDS control, stating that "in order to suppress disease development, a systemic fungicide should be applied in the fall, when the pathogen begins to infect root tissue." States that "SDS remains a devastating disease on bermudagrass turf in transistion zone and specifically in the northernmost range of bermudagrass adaptation because of the variation in over-wintering weather conditions and different levels of bermudagrass resistance to cold." |
