Abstract/Contents:"Turfgrass pathology is an integrated discipline, and historically its evolution has been closely tied to advances in microbiology, plant pathology, agronomy, agricultural engineering, plant breeding, and agrochemistry. Changes in the discipline will continue to be driven by these forces. Emerging technologies in precision agriculture will allow implementation of management practices with unprecedented accuracy. An understanding of how cultural practices impact disease development is needed so that these tools can be used effectively. Methods for remote detection of disease symptoms may also enable precision application of fungicides. As freshwater resources become more limited, the potential impact of water quality on disease development must be investigated. Turfgrass breeders are beginning to focus on disease resistance in important grass species. Studies of functional genomics and host­parasite interactions may identify resistance genes for integration into turfgrass cultivars using traditional or transgenic techniques. Due to the site­specific nature of new pesticide chemistries, fungicide resistance will continue to be an important issue. We must develop an understanding of how pathogen populations are structured and how they respond to selection forces in order to identify strategies that will prevent or delay fungicide resistance."
