| Abstract/Contents: | "Spring dead spot (SDS) caused by Ophiosphaerella herpotricha (Fr.:Fr.) J. Walker is a severe disease of Cynodon species and hybrids used for turf in the transition zone of the USA. We evaluated the development of SDS in the Cynodon dactylon x C. transvaalensis cv. Midlawn for six years. In general, SDS symptoms increased during the first three years then declined slightly each successive year. This decline phenomenon is similar to that reported for take-all dieases of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and creeping bent (Agrostis stolonifera L.) caused by Gaeumannomyces graminis (Sacc.) Arx. & D. Olivier. The effects of various cultivation practices on SDS development were also studied. Yearly removal of sod, followed by regrowth from rhizomes, effectively controlled the disease. A combination of aeration plus vertical mowing, performed twice a year, was moderately effective in reducing SDS, whereas vertical mowing or aeration alone did not significantly reduce disease severity. Vigrous disturbance of the upper root zone of Cynodon turfgrasses may be useful as part of an integrated approach for control of SDS." |
