Abstract/Contents: | "Perhaps the greatest confusion has developed over the distinction between "cool-season Pythium" and "warm-season Pythium". Often, those speaking of "cool-season Pythium" are referring to Pythium root rot, whereas those referring to "warm-season Pythium" are commonly referring to Pythium blight. Pythium blight only occurs under the warm temperature conditions, whereas Pythium root rot can occur under both sets of conditions. All of the important disease-causing Pythium species in turfgrasses are capable of inducing symptoms in turfgrass plants at both cool and warm conditions. Therefore, there are no distinct "cool-season" and "warm-season" Pythium diseases. Rather root rot diseases and foliar blight diseases may occur over a wide range of temperatures." |
