| Abstract/Contents: | States that spores of fungal pathogens of turfgrasses play an important role in the initiation of many diseases of turfgrasses. Reports that fungal spores function like "tiny seeds" and are often transported long distances before continuing fungus growth activities at other locations. Spores of fungal turfgrass pathogens which are produced on litter can be spread to healthy plants by mowing operations, foot traffic, splashing water or wind. States that the thatch layer serves as a continuous reservoir of fungal spores which can cause turf diseases. Describes experiments conducted on Tifway and Tifgreen bermudagrass at varying cutting heights and nitrogen rates. Also reports that fungal spore populations on Dallas area home lawns and an experimental turf plots indicate turf management practices influence spore production greatly. The numbers of Helminthosporium spp. spores occurring in samples from improved hybrid bermudagrass plots were influenced by the same management variables as those found to influence the production of all types of fungal spores on turf. On the basis of the initial spore populations studies on Tifway and Tifgreen bermudagrass, low cutting heights and high rates of nitrogen favor the production of the spores by Helminthosporium fungi. |
