Abstract/Contents:"This study investigated the effect of silicon on grey leaf spot, caused by Pyricularia grisea, in St. Augustinegrass. The experiment was a factorial with 10 replications arranged in a RCB in the greenhouse. Main effects were silicon (14 gm CaSiO3/500 cc soil) and a non-amended control, and subeffects were four St. Augustinegrass cultivars; Bitterblue, Floratam, FX-10 and Seville. Plants were periodicallly misted to provide optimum leaf wetness that promoted natural infection by P. grisea. Disease severity was rated over a 4 week period by estimating % grey leaf spot on individual leaflets and by perfoming % whole plant assessments using a Horsfall-Barratt rating scale. Silicon dramatically reduced % grey leaf spot infection for Bitterblue (49.3 vs 10.5), Floratam (42.7 vs 9.6), FX-10 (4.2 vs 2.2) and Seville (24.2 vs 19.6). Similar results were obtained for % whole plant infection for all the cultivars. Plant silicon content in Si amended treatments increased more than 2x over the controls for all cultivars. Silicon appears to be a good method for managing grey leaf spot in St. Augustinegrass."
