| Abstract/Contents: | "Sand topdressing, a common practice on putting greens, can improve surface characteristics, which enhances aesthetics and playability of the turf. Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum cereale Manns, is a disease of annual bluegrass [Poa annua L. f. reptans (Hausskan) T. Koyama] that is more severe on stressed turf and is thought to be enhanced by sand topdressing particularly in combination with foot traffic. A two year field study was conducted to evaluate the effect of foot traffic and sand topdressing on anthracnose severity in New Brunswick, NJ. A split-plot design with foot traffic [one and 327 footsteps m-2 d-1 (200 rounds d-1)] as the main factor and sand topdressing (none and 0.3 L m-2 wk-1) as the subplot factor was used on annual bluegrass turf maintained at 3.2 mm in 2007 and 2008. Anthracnose was rated using a line-intersect grid counting method. Surprisingly, foot traffic reduced anthracnose severity as much as 27% during both years. Moreover, traffic did not enhance anthracnose severity of san topdressed turf. Sand topdressing initially increased disease slightly in 2007, although continued applications decreased disease by August 2007 and throughout 2008. The combination of foot traffic and sand topdressing resulted in the best turf quality by the end of both seasons. Results indicate that the practice of topdressing should not be terminated when anthracnose develops on annual bluegrass putting greens." |
