| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses turfgrass etiolation, detailing its history, appearance, and potential causes. Reports that "etiolated tiller symptoms (ETS) was first coined by Jeff Gregos to describe the widespread epidemic of etiolated and damaged perennial ryegrass in fairways at Lebanon (Pa. [Pennsylvania]) Country Club during 2004 and 2005." Notes that "symptoms first appear during late spring to early summer, not as evident or persistent during the summer, and again more pronounced in late summer to early fall." Questions whether ETS should be labeled a plant disease or a plant physiological disorder, suggesting that more research must be done on the subject. Briefly describes several experiments conducted to determine whether plant growth regulators affect ETS, concluding that "overall, a noticeable reduction in the visual appearance of ETS was observed in plots treated with fungicides that contain an active ingredient of a demethylation inhibitor." |
