Abstract/Contents:"Of all the pathogens causing diseases on turfgrasses, the Pythium species are perhaps the most versatile. The versatility of these pathogens can be partially attributed to the diversity of spores produced by all of the turfgrass-infecting species. Pythium species may produce up to four types of these survival and propagative structures: oospores, zoospores, chlamydospores, and a mycelial structure called hyphal swellings. Specific diseases caused by Pythium species are: root and crown rots, snow blights, foliar blights, and damping-off. The severity of Pythium diseases can be minimized by adjusting cultural practices to minimize plant stress. Regardless of the Pythium disease one tries to control, it is also advisable to avoid continuous application of any one fungicide on the same site since this practice may enhance the development of fungicide-resistant Pythium populations."
