Abstract/Contents: | "This field study assessed the influence of two irrigation regimes (light and frequent nighttime vs. deep and infrequent morning irrigation) and six chemical treatments (Daconil Ultrex, chlorothalonil; Trimmit 2SC, paclobutrazol; Primer Select, polymeric polyoxyalkylene 95% oxoalkonyl hydroxyl polyoxlalkane diyl 5%; chlorothalonil + Trimmit 2SC, Daconil Ultrex 82.5WDG + Primer Select, and Daconil Ultrex 82.5WDG + Trimmit 2SC + Primer Select) on dollar spot severity on creeping bentgrass maintained at fairway height over a three-year period. Data indicated: Applying a low label rate of Trimmit 2SC alone reduced dollar spot levels in all years. Applying a combination of Daconil Ultrex 82.5WDG + Trimmit 2SC was beneficial in the reduction of dollar spot, but applying a tank-mix of Daconil Ultrex 82.5WDG + Primer Select was not. Dollar spot was more severe in late summer in creeping bentgrass that received deep and infrequent vs. light and frequent irrigation in 2002 and 2004, and disease severity was negatively correlated with volumetric soil moisture. That is, dollar spot was less severe in late summer of 2002 and 2004 in plots that were irrigated daily. This outcome was the opposite of our hypothesis, which was that frequent nighttime irrigation would enhance dollar spot severity. Irrigation frequency during early and mid-summer epidemics had no effect on dollar spot in any year. Soil moisture levels above 25% for this silt loam soil were associated with an improved ability of all three materials to suppress dollar spot." |
