Abstract/Contents: | "Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum cereale Manns, is a devastating disease of putting green turf. Increased N fertility has been reported to reduce anthracnose severity on annual bluegrass [Poa annua L. f. reptans (Hausskn) T. Koyama] turf. In 2007, a 3-yr field study was initiated in North Brunswick, NJ to determine the effect of rate and frequency of soluble-N fertility during mid-season on anthracnose severity of annual bluegrass turf maintained at 3.2 mm. The date of initiating N fertilization (mid-May vs. mid-June) was also evaluated during 2008 and 2009. Nitrogen was applied at 4.9 kg ha-1 every 1, 2, 4 and 8 wk and 9.8 kg ha-1 every 2 and 4 wk as a solution of NH4NO3. Anthracnose severity, assessed as area under the disease progress curve, was reduced linearly with increasing total N rate (9.8 to 58.8 kg ha-1). Nitrogen applied at 58.8 kg ha-1 total (4.9 kg ha-1 wk-1 or 9.8 kg ha-1 2 wk-1) had the greatest reduction in anthracnose severity throughout the study. Nitrogen applied at 29.9 kg ha-1 over the season (4.9 kg ha-1 2 wk-1) was the lowest N rate to significantly reduce disease severity, and anthracnose was most severe on turf receiving N at 19.6 and 9.8 kg ha-1 (4.9 kg ha-1 4 wk-1 or 8 wk-1) over the season. Initiating N fertilization before symptom expression (mid-May) reduced anthracnose severity compared to fertilization initiated at the onset of disease (mid-June) in 2008. Thus, fertilization techniques that increased midseason N fertility, within the range of 29.9 to 58.8 kg ha-1, were effective at reducing anthracnose severity on annual bluegrass turf." |
