Abstract/Contents: | "Turfgrass disease management has been linked with fungicide development since the inception of turfgrass pathology. The initial experiments conducted on turfgrass disease control were performed at the Arlington Turf Gardens in 1917. The objective of these initial trials was to determine the efficacy of Bordeaux mixture against brown patch of fescue. The results of these trials demonstrated the benefits of fungicide applications greatly outweighed the disadvantages. Leaving the era of copper in fungicide history behind, turfgrass disease management entered a new era, one with synthetic organic compounds. Many notable products became available in middle 1900s for the control of turfgrass diseases such as benomyl, thiophanate methyl, iprodione, chlorothalonil, propiconazole and mancozeb. Although these fungicides were initially highly effective, after a few to many years of use, some of them succumbed to resistant pathogens. Fungicides coming to the market in the 2000s and presently, typically have single site modes of action that are prone to the development of fungicide resistance. Moreover, the increasing costs of bringing a new pesticide to market and the competition from post-patent products have hindered the release of new compounds. Consequently, this has ushered in a new age of studying the basic biology of turfgrass diseases and the efforts of todays turfgrass pathologists will likely revolutionize how we manage turfgrass diseases in the future." |
