Abstract/Contents:"Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum cereale Manns, is a common fungal disease of annual bluegrass (ABG) [Poa annua L. f. reptans (Hausskn) T. Koyama] putting greens in the United States. Previous research at Rutgers University has shown that increasing ammonium nitrate rates up to 9.8 kg ha-1 wk-1 reduced anthracnose severity compared to lower nitrogen (N) rates. However, additional research is needed to determine the effect of N source on anthracnose severity. The objective of this field study was to evaluate the effect of soluble-N source on anthracnose severity and to determine if soluble-N source alters the effect of N frequency (rate) on this disease during mid-season. This three-year field trial was initiated spring 2010 in North Brunswick, NJ on an ABG turf maintained at 3.2 mm. The study was moved to a second location in spring 2011 because of significant winter injury and remained at this location for the subsequent two years. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with 4 replications. Nitrogen treatments were applied at 4.9 kg N ha-1 every 7- or 14-d as solutions of ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4), ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), urea (CH4N20), calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2), or potassium nitrate (KNO3). Analysis of variance from three years indicated that soluble N source had a significant impact on disease severity. In general, potassium nitrate treatments had the lowest anthracnose severity; whereas, ammonium sulfate treatments had the greatest anthracnose severity. Application frequency also had a significant impact on disease severity throughout the study. Weekly applications of soluble N consistently reduced disease severity compared to biweekly applications. Biweekly applications of all soluble N sources tested in this study did not provide a sufficient amount of N required to reduce anthracnose severity. Interaction data from 2011 and 2012 suggest that weekly applications of potassium nitrate were required to significantly reduce anthracnose severity."
