| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses rust infestation of cool-season turfgrasses, highlighting "rust biology"; "means of recognition"; and "control measures." Explains that "nearly all grasses can be affected by their own rusts, but among cool season turfgrasses, perennial ryegrass seems to be the most susceptible. Rust is also a problem on Kentucky bluegrass, but often only one species is affected in a given area." States that "turfgrass rust is most commonly visible on leaf blades in late summer, continuing into the fall." Describes possible symptoms of turfgrass rust, stating that "the first symptoms found on grass include small yellow flecks on leaves, sheaths or upper or lower leaf surfces, depending on the rust species. Reddish-brown pustules appear on leaf blades, bearing masses of summer spores." Details rust life cycle, stating that "most rusts require more than one host species to complete a life cycle. In addition to the grass host, the alternate host is usually a woody or herbaceous species such as the aforementioned barberry or buckthorn." Highlights possible methods of preventing and controlling turfgrass rust, stating that "mowing and fertility management will usually control rust disease. Grass should be watered infrequently but thoroughly early in the day to minimize leaf wetness periods to avoid drought stress." Notes that "no chemicals are registered for turfgrass rust disease control in Canada. However, cultivars of Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass with increased rust resistance are available." |
