Abstract/Contents:"Meyer zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) is one of the most common zoysiagrass cultivars used on golf course fairways in the transitional climatic zone. Meyer zoysiagrass provides an excellent turf surface for golf course fairways because of its high turf quality, durability, low N fertility requirements, and tolerance of abiotic stresses (Patton, Schwartz, & Kenworthy, 2017). However, spring seedhead (inflorescence) production causes a decline in turf aesthetics and an increase in maintenance costs (Brosnan, Breeden, Elmore, Patton, & Weisenberger, 2012; Patton, Schortgen, Hoyle, Harrell, & Reicher, 2018). A recent study demonstrated that a fall application of Proxy [ethephon (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid); Bayer Environmental Science] plant growth regulator can be an effective option to suppress spring seedhead production in Meyer zoysiagrass (Patton et al., 2018). This fall timing is within the same application window recommended for preventative fungicide applications of Rhizoctonia large patch disease (RLPD) [Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn Anastomosis Group (AG)-2-2 LP], which is the primary disease affecting zoysiagrass (Patton et al., 2018). Benelli et al. (2018) reported reduced RLPD severity when fungicides were applied to the lower plant canopy of zoysiagrass, such as the leaf sheath or stem, compared with applications to the leaf blade. Thus RLPD control may be improved by either higher spray application volumes or possibly postapplication rainfall or irrigation to allow for greater canopy penetration. Golf course superintendents could reduce labor by tank-mixing the fall fungicide application for large patch with a Proxy application for spring seedhead suppression; however, we are unsure how postapplication irrigation influences the efficacy of Proxy. The objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of postapplication irrigation volumes on fall-applied Proxy for spring suppression of Meyer zoysiagrass seedheads."
