Abstract/Contents:"Turfgrass pathology is more complex than that of many other plants and for this reason is soemtimes very frustrating to understand. This complexity stems from the fact that there are four basic subjects to consider in turfgrass pathology: 1)the perennial growth of the grass plant, 2)the cultivation and management practices applied to the grass plant ecosystem, and 4)the environment. Most microorganisms that infect turfgrass are ever-present residents of the grass ecosystem, living in soil or thatch. These microorganisms attack when conditions permit. Each microorganism requires specific conditions to become a pathogen, and the appropriate conditions for one organism could be very similar to or very different from those of other microorganisms. For example, Rhizoctonia solani (brown patch ) and Sclerotinia homoeocarpa (dollar spot) both infect grass during summer conditions of high temperature, high humidity, and low fertility, while R. solani and R. cerealis (yellow patch) infect grass at temperatures of 25 degrees to 38 degrees C and 15 degrees to 25 degrees C, respectively. It is imperative that research consider all facets of the turfgrass ecosystem if lasting disease-management systems are to be achieved."
