Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the relationship between heat, humidity, and damage from fungal diseases. Also discusses three theories: "1. Anthracnose is a disease and fungicides can prevent damage. 2. Anthracnose is a senectopathic disorder and fungicides won't prevent damage. 3. Both theories are correct." The first theory is based on the fact that "annual bluegrass does not die from high temperatures in cool season grass growing areas,but from anthracnose (or another disease summer patch.)" Thus treatment to prevent the disease should save the turf. The second theory claims that "infection of annual bluegrass leaves will not occur unless the leaves have been predisposed by exposure to air temperatures in the 86 degree to 95 degree F. range." Concludes that "the ability of turfgrasses to resist or avoid disease is also dependent on temperature." |
