| Abstract/Contents: | "Turfgrass Diseases is a split-level course designed to serve students enrolled in the Golf and Sports Turf Management curriculum at Mississippi State University. The course encompasses the study of disease cycles and associated symptoms, pathogen identification, turf diagnostics, economic importance, and management strategies of turfgrass diseases. The overall objectives included an in-class and field practicum. The in-class practicum was designed to raise awareness of fungicide trade names, common names, phytomobility, and biochemical mode of action by assembling a fungicide database. The students had the freedom to design the database according to their personal preference with the intent that the fungicide database serve as a reference in the work place. The effectiveness of this exercise was determined by a questionnaire each student completed at the end of the semester. All students strongly agreed the database would serve as a valuable reference tool. In the field, students were involved in the plot establishment and ratings of a fungicide evaluation for control of leaf spot in a bermudagrass putting green. The field practicum was designed to teach students critical evaluation methods to identify leaf spot symptoms, the impact of disease on turfgrass quality, efficacy of commercial fungicides for leaf spot control, and research methodology. Seventy percent of the students strongly agreed on the overall effectiveness of participating in a fungicide evaluation." |
