| Abstract/Contents: | "Brown patch, a destructive disease of lawns of St. Augustine grass (Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze) has been known in Louisiana and other Deep South States for many years, but its etiology had not been definitely established. The present paper presents experimental evidence to show that the disease is caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kuehn (Pellicularia filamentosa (Pat.) Rogers). The following fungicides were tested at different rates for possible control of the disease; Cadminate (cadmium succinate, 60 per cent); Caloclor (mercurous chloride 60 per cent, mercuric chloride 30 per cent); Crag Turf Fungicide 531 (complex compound of cadmium, calcium, copper, zinc sulfates-chromates); Kromad (tetramethylthiuram disulfide 16 per cent, cadmium sebacate 5 per cent, potassium chromate 5 per cent, malachite green 1 per cent, auramine 0.5 percent); Puratized 177 (phenyl amino cadmium dilactate 100 per cent; Puratized Agricultural Spray (phenyl mercuritriethanol ammonium lactate 7.5 per cent; Semesan Turf Fungicide (hydroxymercurichlorophenol 25.3 percent); Tersan (tetramethylthiuram disulfide 75 per cent); and Terraclor (pentachloronitrobenzene 75 per cent WP). Terraclor gave perfect control of the disease in every test (31 separate tests) at all rates ranging from 20 g to 136 g per 100 square feet. At the higher rates (above 100 g per 100 square feet) it was phytotoxic. Puratized 177, at rates of 10 g and 20 g per 100 square feet, also gave perfect control in two trials, but it was not available for further tests. Puratized Agricultural Spray gave good control in one test, but proved ineffective and phytotoxic in three other trials. All the other fungicides were ineffective at the rates tested." |
