Abstract/Contents:"Take-All Patch, which is caused by the ectotrophic root infecting fungus Gaeumannomyces graminis var. avenae, can be a devastating disease on bentgrass tees, greens, and fairways. The disease is often most associated with cool temperatures, and appears on soils that are poorly drained or that have been recently limed. Moderate control of the disease can be accomplished through the use of fungicides. Recently, however, more attention has been given to the use of mineral nutrition for disease control. Research on take-all disease of wheat has shown that the use of acidifying fertilizers as well as Mn and Cu fertilizers limit root infection and the severity of the disease. The objective of this study was to utilize this type of approach on Take-All Patch of creeping bentgrass. The study was initiated at Metedeconk Golf Course, Jackson, NJ, in 1995 on a fairway with a natural infestation of the disease. Copper sulfate and manganese sulfate were applied every four weeks for a total of 11 applications per year in 1995 and 1996. Take-All Patch severity was evaluated on May 30, 1996 by determining percent disease coverage per plot. Initial results suggest that severity of Take-All Patch of creeping bentgrass is not affected by the application of copper. In comparison to the unfertilized control, however, disease severity was significantly reduced by 79% with the application of the high rate (3.68 kg Mn / ha / year) of manganese. Future research will be directed toward correlating soil Mn with percent disease through soil tests. Additional research will also be conducted to determine the best rates and times for the fertilizer applications."
