Abstract/Contents:"Turfgrass anthracnose, caused by the fungus Colleotrichum graminicola, is a pathogen of an [a] number of cool-season grasses and can be a serious disease of annual bluegrass (Poa annua) and creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris) on golf course putting greens. There are two different symptoms caused by this pathogen, a foliar blight and a rot of the crown, roots and shoots (basal rot). Anthracnose foliar blight (AFB) was first reported in the 1950s, while basal rot (ABR) was described in the 1980s. AFB usually occurs in warm/hot temperatures on drought and heat stressed turf. ABR can occur under wet conditions in the spring, summer, and autumn, and is generally much more difficult to manage than AFB. Two recent topics of concern are (1) a rise in the incidence of anthracnose epidemics, especially ABR and (2) the development of fungicide resistance by this pathogen, including the QoIs. Changes in turf management and increasing demands on turf performance appear to have increased the severity of anthracnose epidemics. Ultimately, a better understanding of the biology and epidemiology of this pathogen will shed light on strategies that will provide the best control of this disease."
