| Abstract/Contents: | Explains that "once inside plants, [pathogenic] bacteria cause damage by enzyme activity, toxin production and vascular plugging. By occluding xylem vessels, they interrupt water transport, causing plants to wilt and eventually die." States that "bacterial wilt [caused by Xanthomonas campestris] of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) is the only recorded bacterial disease of turf in the United States" and that "in 1984 researchers at Michigan State University identified a strain of X. campestris that was pathogenic to annual bluegrass. Describes the symptoms of bacterial wilt in both creeping bentgrass and annual bluegrass. Explains that "no consistent leaf or sheath symptoms appear to be reliable for diagnosing bacterial wilt" and that "bacterial wilt symptoms can mimic active or residual anthracnose (Colletotrichum graminicola) or plants damaged by pythium-incited root diseases." Discusses management strategies to help alleviate the disease, including "mowing turf when leaves are dry later in the morning" to reduce spread, increasing mowing height to reduce severity of the disease and avoiding aerification and topdressing in affected areas. Discusses control of the disease using antibiotics, which are "expensive, difficult to handle, may be phytotoxic and must be applied in high volumes of water...at dusk every four to six weeks." |
