Abstract/Contents: | Koch's postulates provide a medical method of establishing pathogenecy of specific microbes through scientific empirical means. These postulates are described in four steps. The specific difficulties involved with the adaptation of this technique to turf grass management are considered. The cumulative effect of multiple pathogens in a sample presents difficulties. Despite these problems Koch's postulates remains the most accepted tool for this purpose. |
