Abstract/Contents:"At every stage of growth, from seed to old managed turf, grasses have a complex microbial flora living within and on them, which is now being studied and to some extent understood. Some of these microbes cause diseases of grasses but the great majority do not do so." Includes activities of microbes on agricultural grasses studied in recent years. "None of these phenomena has yet been studied in sports turf or amenity grasses. Research is clearly needed, because some of the findings of workers on agricultural grasses have been of considerable practical importance. Although only a few organisms are responsible for diseases of turfgrasses, their impact on the quality of the playing surface and the species composition of the sward can be very great (Smith and Jackson 1965). Control of turf diseases depends in practice on two complementary approaches: the management regime and the use of fungicides. There is a clear need for a better understanding of the microbiology of the turfgrass system, both when healthy and when diseased, particularly with regard to the effects on it of various management practices."
