| Abstract/Contents: | "Rhizoctonia species cause some of the most destructive diseases on turfgrasses grown in the transition climatic zone. There are currently at least five Rhizoctonia-like pathogens that infect cool season turfgrasses in the transition zone. My lab has focused on a three-fold approach to better understanding the pathogen(s) involved in causing disease. First, correct identification of the pathogen is critical for the development of host resistance and disease control. Current work is using various molecular techniques (ITS sequencing, UP-PCR, AFLP, SCAR) to attempt to better understand the relationships within and among the Rhizoctonia species causing disease. Second, digital imaging techniques have been developed to accurately assess the potential for host resistance in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) germplasm accessions. These techniques are also useful to quantitatively assess disease that is present on turfgrass plants. Third, cultural management tools such as, mowing height and N fertility, and chemical management tools such as; nozzle types and granular fungicide applications are being examined to provide new solutions for disease control in the transition zone while attempting to minimize the impact of blanket preventative fungicide applications." |
