| Abstract/Contents: | "Scientists within the NE-1025 multi-state turf research project are studying the biology, ecology, and management of anthracnose (caused by Colletotrichum cereale) of annual bluegrass turf. They are examining the biology of the pathogen, assessing fungicidal control and fungicide resistance development, evaluating the effect of cultural practices on anthracnose severity, and developing annual bluegrass and bentgrass selections for resistance to this disease. The papers points include: The frequency and severity of anthracnose epiphytotics on golf course putting greens has increased over the past decade and is thought to be associated with some of the management practices used by superintendents to improve playability (ball roll). Besides annual bluegrass, outbreaks are also increasingly common on creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) and may develop on other cool-season turf species including ryegrasses (Lolium spp.), fescues (Festuca spp.), Kentucky bluegrass (P. pratensis), and velvet bentgrass (A. canina). It is recommended that golf course superintendents initiate a preventive fungicide program at least one month prior to the normal onset of anthracnose in their area. Of the eight chemistries available for anthracnose control, only the benzimidazole, DMI (demethylation inhibitors), and QoI (strobilurins)classes have significant curative activity. Resistance has developed in anthracnose to site-specific fungicide classes including the QoIs, benzimidazoles, and DMI fungicides. Best management practices for the control of anthracnose disease on annual bluegrass putting green turf include implementing a frequent low N-rate fertility program initiated in late spring and continuing through summer." |
