| Abstract/Contents: | "Brown patch, caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani (Kühn), is one of the most important diseases affecting tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb) turfs. The objectives of this study were to: 1) determine broad-sense heritability estimates for brown patch resistance in tall fescue populations, and 2) evaluate cultivars and experimental selections of tall fescue for resistance to brown patch disease. Several tall fescue field experiments, consisting of commercial cultivars and experimental selections, were established in 1998 at Adelphia, North Brunswick and Pittstown, NJ (Exp 1) and in 2001 and 2002 at Adelphia and North Brunswick, NJ (Exp 2). Susceptibility of germplasm to brown patch was evaluated following disease development, which occurred two to three weeks after inoculation with the pathogen. Moderate to high broad-sense heritability estimates for brown patch disease resistance in tall fescue were obtained (0.55 to 0.74) depending on the experiment and number of cultivars replicated in each experiment. These heritability estimates indicate that selection for resistance should be possible, which will be important for the development of more disease resistant cultivars." |
