Abstract/Contents: | "An unusual decline of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) has occurred on Florida golf courses in recent years. Initially, patches of chlorotic grass ca 20-60 cm in diameter appear. Grass in the patch thins and a bare spot in the turf frequently develops. Greenshoots of grass commonly occur next to chlorotic ones at the edge of the patch. Affected plants have short brown roots without feeder roots and root hairs. Rhizomes are usually absent and very few stolons are present. Roots are consistently colonized by a fungus that forms coarse brown hyphal runners on the surface. Smaller, lighter-colored connecting hyphae penetrate the root. This fungus has been isolated and identified as Phialophora radicicola Cain, a species previously reported on wheat and corn but not on C. dactylon. The fungus appears to be primarily a pathogen of stressed plants. It is not controlled by commonly used turfgrass fungicides, but damage is reduced by cultural practices that increase grass vigor." |
