| Abstract/Contents: | "Biological control of a disease is the reduction of disease severity by a living organism other than man. In most cases biological control is the suppression of the disease-causing organism by another non-pathogenic organism. This type of control is not an exception in nature but rather a rule of ecological homeostasis. All organisms are controlled by other organisms, and only when these controls are reduced does disease develop. For example, the turfgrass plant itself can control many would-be pathogens by vigorous, healthy growth. If this growth is reduced due to moisture or nutrient stress, certain organisms, such as the rust-causing fungi or the dollar spot-causing fungi, are able to attack the grass plant." |
