Abstract/Contents:"The 28 year period following 1980 has been a time of great change in the field of turfgrass pathology. Knowledge of soilborne pathogens increased rapidly with the development of improved isolation and detection techniques. At least five new patch diseases and their causal agents, some newly described, have been reported since 1984. Studies focusing on the biology, taxonomy, epidemiology and detection of foliar and root­infecting fungi during the past two decades have greatly expanded our understanding of these pathogens and the diseases that they cause. Advances in biotechnology have resulted in the development of methodologies that greatly improved our ability to detect and identify turf pathogens. For example, immunoassays were first marketed for the detection of turf diseases in 1986. Later, molecular tools such as DNA probes, PCR­based fingerprinting and DNA sequencing were used to clarify phylogenetic relationships, identify species and define population structure for many turf pathogens and their hosts. In the 1980s, bacterial wilt, necrotic ring spot, pink patch, summer patch and yellow ring were identified. This was followed by the discovery of bermudagrass decline, dead spot and gray leaf spot (on perennial ryegrass) in the 1990s and, most recently, reports of brown ring patch, kikuyugrass decline, rapid blight and yellow spot. Within the past decade, anthracnose and dollar spot have reemerged as major diseases on golf courses in the North America."
