| Abstract/Contents: | "Silvery threadmoss (Bryum argenteum) has become an increasingly problematic weed of golf courses, particularly since the loss of mercury and other heavy metal based pesticides, which controlled moss. A decrease in mowing height requiring increased passes of equipment over the green, decreased nutrient inputs, and an open turf canopy contributes to moss encroachment on putting greens. The only commercial herbicide labeled for moss control is carfentrazone which does not completely eradicate moss, so sequential applications are required once moss recovers. Aside from turf, silvery threadmoss can also be a weed problem of containerized nursery crops as well as nursery growth pads and stone hardscapes. There are no professional products labeled for moss control in these systems. A naturally occurring microorganism has been discovered that effectively controls silvery threadmoss. This organism was evaluated fulfilling Kochs postulates for disease in silvery threadmoss. Host specificity confirms the organism is active against silvery threadmoss, but does not cause disease in the most commonly managed turf species, creeping bentgrass or annual bluegrass. We are evaluating this organism for all three niche markets, looking at host specificity to be sure the pathogen is not a disease organism of the most commonly cultivated landscape ornamentals or common naturally occurring mosses found in the landscape." |
