| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles anthracnose, explaining that it "can be found on cool- and warm-season turf in roughs, fairways, and tees, but often is most destructive on annual bluegrass maintained at putting green height." States that "the increase in anthracnose disease on turf...has given rise to speculation that more virulent strains of C. cereale may have emerged." Explains that "on annual bluegrass, symptom [of anthracnose] first appear as orange to yellow coloured [colored] spots that range from 6-13mm [millimeters] in diameter. As the disease spreads, spots may coalesce into large, irregularly-shaped areas of infected turf on putting greens, tees, and fairways." Provides potential anthracnose control methods, suggesting that "research and experience indicate that preventive fungicide applications are far more effective than curative applications for the control of anthracnose on putting greens. However, due to a lack of knowledge regarding the disease cycle and epidemiology of anthracnose, the best timing for preventive applications remains unknown." Also discusses fungicide resistance, stating that "fungicide resistance has complicated anthracnose management...Resistance has developed in anthracnose to site-specific fungicide classes including the Qols, benzimidazoles, and DMI fungicides." States that "mefluidide and trinexapacethyl used in combination reduced anthracnose severity 6 to 14 per cent compared to plots that only received one of these plant growth regulators during the last two years of a three-year trial." Mentions verticutting, mowing, rolling, topdressing, and irrigation management practices as potential anthracnose control. Concludes that "best management practices for the control of anthracnose disease on annual bluegrass putting green turf include implementing a frequent low N [nitrogen] rate fertility programme [program] initiated in late spring and continuing through summer." |
