Abstract/Contents:"Pyraclostrobin, a member of the strobilurin class of fungicides, has recently been labeled for plant health benefits in addition to its fungistatic properties. A fungicide that controls disease causing organisms while potentially reducing the impact of abiotic disorders could enhance the quality of turf during stressful conditions. An experiment was conducted on a creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) putting green located at Ruggles Ferry Golf Club in east Tennessee to better understand the plant health benefits associated with strobilurin fungicides when integrated within a summer fungicide program. The four strobilurins labeled for turfgrass applications, pyraclostrobin, azoxystrobin, fluoxastrobin, and trifloxystrobin, were applied at their highest label rates of 0.55, 0.61, 0.55, and 0.38 kg ai ha-1, respectively on 15 June and 27 July during 2011. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Digital Image Analysis (DIA), and visual turfgrass quality were evaluated 14 days post strobilurin application. Significant differences were not detected for NDVI, DIA, or visual turfgrass quality between any of the strobilurin containing fungicide programs and the untreated control. Our results suggest that strobilurin fungicides may not provide a field observable promotion of plant health, beyond that of disease control, in certain varieties of creeping bentgrass."
