Abstract/Contents:"Identification of the ectotrophic root-infecting fungi associated with the patch diseases of cool season turfgrasses is a challenging task for plant disease diagnosticians. When one observes the hyphae of these fungi on root tissue, there are no diagnostic characteristics of the hyphopodia to separate the pathogens from the saprophytes. The first task is to wash soil from plant roots, identify the turfgrass species and visualize the root system under the dissecting microscope for the extent of discoloration. In the case of take all patch, age of the creeping bentgrass plant and extent of root discoloration suggests as to whether or not Gaeumannomyces graminis var. avenae is present. Methods for the isolation of these fungi from root tissue and optimal growth termperatures for the fungi that cause take all and summer patch will be presented along with information about some of the commonly isolated saprophytes such as G. cylindrosporus and G. incrustans. In addition, the implementation of DNA-based identification techniques will be discussed with this group of fungi."
