Abstract/Contents:"The disease Rhizoctonia leaf and sheath spot (RLSS), purportedly caused by Rhizoctonia zeae Voorhees, is problematic in interspecific hybrid bermduagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. X C. transvaalensis (Burtt-Davy). New cultivars of interspecific hybrid bermduagrass, also known as ultradwarf bermduagrass (UDBG), have growth characteristics that produce an ideal putting surface, but these cultivars appear more susceptible to RLSS compared to older cultivars. RLSS symptoms typically are most severe in late-summer and appear as frog-eye patches 4 to 18 cm in diameter. RLSS is often called "mini-ring" because of the small brown rings that are produced when UDBG is infected. The effect of nitrogen source and application rate on RLSS symptom develop was investigated in 2016 and 2017 by employing a factorial treatment arrangement. Urea and ammonium sulfate were each applied weekly during the growing season to supply nitrogen at rates of 0.49, 0.98, and 1.46 g/m2. A treatment in which UDBG received no nitrogen was included as a control. The study was conducted on UDBG cultivars 'TifEagle' and 'MiniVerde', both maintained as research putting greens at the Clemson University Pee Dee Research and Education Center in Florence, SC. Nitrogen treatments were applied to the same plots in both years. RLSS symptoms were assessed by dividing each plot into eight subsections and visually estimating the percent of each subsection affected by RLSS. In both cultivars and in both years, RLSS symptom severity increased as the rate of ammonium sulfate increased. Conversely, increasing application rates of urea either had no impact on RLSS severity or decreased symptom severity in 2016 and 2017. These studies suggest that utilizing urea as a nitrogen source, rather than ammonium sulfate, can be an effective strategy to manage RLSS in UDBG."
