Abstract/Contents:Discusses the disease resistance of tall fescue. Explains that "brown patch severity in tall fescues was highly correlated with blade density because a denser canopy promoted a higher relative humidity and a longer leaf wetness duration." Discusses "breeding for resistance." Describes some problems with identifying diseases. Discusses the importance of finding the genes responsible for disease resistance. Discusses "drought avoidance and true drought resistance." Describes the "incorporation of improved endophytes into turf-type tall fescues."
