Abstract/Contents: | "Gray leaf spot (Magnaporthe oryzae) is serious disease of perennial ryegrass turf causing extensive damage in golf course fairways in various regions of the United States. Environmental conditions such as moderately warm temperature and prolonged leaf wetness duration have been reported to favor gray leaf spot development; however, effects of relative humidity (R.H.) on the disease is virtually unknown. Therefore, this study was undertaken to determine the effects of relative humidity (85-100% at 3% intervals) on infection, conidia production, and colonization of the perennial ryegrass plant tissue by M. oryzae. Results of our study showed that relative humidity at 88% and below were not adequate for M. oryzae for infection of perennial ryegrass. However, 88% R.H. was found to be the threshold of conidiation from necrotic lesions on perennial ryegrass leaf blades. Starting from 94% R.H., conidiation was found to increase exponentially with increase of R.H., which may be best described by a model: Y = 1.3 x 10-19e0.48X (Y = conidiation; X = relative humidity). Furthermore, visual assessment of mycelial mass in the leaf tissue indicated that there was a positive relationship (qualitative) between mycelial mass in the leaf tissue and rate of conidia production. Results of our study suggest that relative humidity is an important environmental factor governing the development of gray leaf spot in perennial ryegrass turf." |
