| Abstract/Contents: | "The principle factors determining the incidence and severity of turfgrass diseases are environmental factors and plant stresses that influence not only the activity of pathogens, but the susceptibility of the plants. One of the more exciting alternative management strategies being developed is the use of antagonistic micro-organisms (also called 'antagonists') to reduce either the activities of pathogens or enhance the tolerance of plants to disease. Biological control may be achieved either through application of introduced microbes or through the manipulation of native microbes, present either on plant parts or in soils, that 'naturally' suppress diseases. The goal is to reduce or eliminate pathogen activities by reducing pathogen inoculum in soil, protecting plant surfaces from infection, or triggering natural defense mechanisms within the plants." |
