USGA Summary Points: | Initial dead spot symptoms appear between mid-May and early June and was greatest between late June and early August, but no new infection centers appeared after early October. The pathogen rapidly produces prodigious numbers of ascospores which can germinate within two hours in the presence of bentgrass leaves and roots. During the winter months, the pathogen was commonly isolated from bentgrass crowns, stolons, and roots and from overwintering pseudothecia. All nitrogen fertilizers evaluated in a field study aided in the autumn recovery of bentgrass affected by dead spot. Nitrate- and urea-based N-sources, however, enhanced the recurrence of the disease in the second year of the study. Applications of ammonium sulfate resulted in no new infection centers in the second year Genetic diversity among 78 O. agrostis isolates from various geographic regions currently is being investigated by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). |
