| Abstract/Contents: | "Sclerotinia homoeocarpa causes the most economically damaging disease on cool-season turfgrasses: dollar spot. The life cycle of this pathogen is poorly understood. Past reports have hypothesized that S. homoeocarpa overwinters as mycelia or stromata in leaf tissue and plant debris. One recent study cultured S. homoeocarpa from 80-100% of toothpicks inserted in the thatch layer of an infection center, but not from toothpicks inserted in the soil. Therefore, we decided to compare the abundance of S. homoeocarpa isolated from the thatch and soil from organic and conventional golf courses. We collected samples from three management areas (putting greens, fairways, and roughs) on three golf courses (one organic and two conventional) in Massachusetts in the spring and fall of 2014 and from a fairway and a putting green at the Joseph Troll Turfgrass Research Center in Massachusetts in 2015. We used quantitative PCR to estimate the amount of detectable S. homoeocarpa using species-specific primers. There were no significant differences in the amount of fungus detected among management areas or golf courses. However, we found there was highly significantly more S. homoeocarpa detected in the thatch layer (0-21.13 pg/ μl) than the soil (0-0.805 pg/Μl) in all samples. This result may have important implications for future studies aimed at quantifying this pathogen and for developing new management strategies aimed at reducing S. homoeocarpa inoculum." |
