Abstract/Contents:Discusses rust diseases, stating that "nearly all grasses can be affected by their own rusts, but among cool season turfgrasses, perennial ryegrass seems to be most greatly affected. Rust is also a problem on Kentucky bluegrass, but often only one species is affected in an area." States that "rust on turfgrass is most commonly visible on leaf blades in late summer into fall" and that "the conditions that are favourable [favorable] for initial infection differ from those that encourage development of the disease in the field. Infection is favoured [favored] by low light intensity, 20 to 25°C [Celsius], and high humidity." Discusses symptoms of rust diseases as well as its life cycle. Mentions that "mowing and managing fertility will usually control rust disease."
