Abstract/Contents:"Fusarium blight of turfgrasses, caused by Fusarium roseum is found only in limited areas of the United States, although F. roseum is widely distributed. The disease is most severe during June, July and August in the Washington, D.C. area. The fungi most commonly isolated from diseased plants during this period are Fusarium spp. Disease severity is directly proportional to intensity and duration of sunlight and diseased turf has not been observed in heavily shaded areas. Pure stands of 'Merion' Kentucky bluegrass are most severely infected. Disease severity has not been correlated with high soil nitrogen, low calcium or amount of thatch. Neither zinc ion + maneb nor 2,4-dichloro-6-(o-chloroanilino)-s-triazine affected severity of Fusarium blight disease in Merion Kentucky bluegrass."
