| Abstract/Contents: | "Colletotrichum graminicola, the causal agent of both foliar and crown rotting anthracnose, is classified as a facultative parasite. This means it is an excellent saprophyte, in addition to being a parasite, which allows it to survive in the thatch and soil for long periods of time until the environmental conditions become favorable for infection. The fungus over-winters in both dead and living plant tissue. Conidia are produced in acervuli and are spread by wind and water to the turfgrass plants. The disease develops as irregular shaped patches of yellow-bronze turf that range in size from a few centimeters to several meters across. Infected leaves have elongated, reddish brown lesions that expand to encompass the entire leaf blade. Laboratory studies have shown the optimum temperature range for growth of C. graminicola to be between 22 and 31°C. Greenhouse studies have shown C. graminicola can caused [cause] disease on annual bluegrass plants at temperatures between 27 and 33°C. Less is known about the crown rotting stage of C. graminicola. It seems to occur over a very board [broad] temperature range. Infected turf has been observed from cool temperatures following snowmelt through summer heat at temperatures greater than 30°C. The only correlation that has been made regarding infection is that the diseases seems [seem] to develop shortly after the soil becomes saturated, whether the excess moisture was the result of heavy rainfall, snow melt or over-watering." |
