Abstract/Contents: | States the an outbreak of bacterial etiolation and decline of creeping bentgrass starting in 2010 in areas of the United States has caused debate among university researchers and industry professionals. Discusses that prior to this outbreak, problems had been attributed to various stress-related issues, but were found to be caused by extremely high levels of a bacteria called Acidovorax avenae subsp. avenae. Explains that bentgrass with bacterial etiolation have small areas where the grass is yellow colored and elongated. States that researchers from Michigan State University and the University of Rhode Island collaborated on researching different creeping bentgrass cultivars that Acidovorax may be capable of infecting. Reports that growth and discoloration in bentgrass is caused by a hormonal response from the plant, and that damage from the bacterium is stress induced, as breaks or abrasions in grass gives an entry point for the bacterium into the plant. |
