| Abstract/Contents: | "Bermudagrass decline, a root rot disease caused by Gaeumannomyces graminis var. graminis, has become a serious problem on golf course putting greens in Florida, including new greens. Currently, new putting greens are fumigated and then planted with vegetative material (sprigs) obtained from sod fields since no seed is available. A study was conducted to ascertain the primary transmittal method of the causal agent. No Gaeumannomyces-like fungi were isolated from the root-zone mix, either before or after fumigation. Sampling of roots from putting greens, certified sod fields, and foundation field plots indicated Gaeumannomyces-like fungi were present throughout the sod production system, including the foundation material. Therefore, planting of pathogen-free sod is not a preventative disease control method available to the consumer. Increasing the mowing height on putting greens may be one possible method to minimize disease symptoms, since symptoms have been observed only on bermudagrass maintained at less than 6.5 mm height of cut." |
