Bacterial etiolation and decline has developed into a widespread issue with creeping bentgrass (CBG) (Agrostis stolonifera) putting green turf. The condition is characterized by an abnormal elongation of turfgrass stems and leaves that in rare cases progresses into a rapid and widespread necrosis
In June of 2009, a golf course putting green sample of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) cv. Penn G-2 from a golf club in North Carolina was submitted to the Michigan State University Turfgrass Disease Diagnostic Laboratory for diagnosis. The sample exhibited symptoms of general wilt,
Colletotrichum cereale Manns, formerly C. graminicola (Ces.) G.W. Wils., is the causal agent of anthracnose foliar blight (AFB) of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) and other grass species (1). AFB is most prevalent on creeping bentgrass during summer heat stress (2). Symptoms of AFB
Waitea circinata Warcup and Talbot (also referred to as W. circinata var. circinata) is an important fungal pathogen of amenity turfgrasses and is especially problematic on Poa annua in putting greens in the late spring or early summer. The pathogen was first identified in 2005 from Japan and has
A disease resembling brown ring (Waitea) patch was observed on a 'Dominant Extreme' creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) green on a golf course in Maricopa County, Arizona in February 2010. The green was 17 months old and built with 95% sand and 5% peat moss. The superintendent reported seeing
During the summer of 2000, circular, yellow-to-brown, blighted, 2- to 4-cm-diameter patches were observed on creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) putting greens (cv. Pennlinks) maintained at a 4- to 5-mm height on a golf course in Pilar (Buenos Aires, Argentina). Symptomatic leaves had
Upon biological screening of a series of African medicinal plants, substantial phytotoxic activity was found in the leaves of Laggera decurrens (Vahl.) Hepper & Wood (Asteraceae), using a Lemna minor bioassay. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the leaves led to the isolation of two physiologically
Seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum) is a saline-tolerant, warm-season turfgrass species popular for golf course use in tropical and subtropical climates. A new variety of Waitea circinata (proposed as W. circinata var. prodigus) is described as the causal agent of basal leaf blight, a novel
BACKGROUND
The fungus Diaporthe eres was isolated from a fungal pathogen-infected leaf of Hedera helix (English ivy) exhibiting necrosis. It is hypothesized that the causative fungus produces phytotoxins as evidenced by necrotic lesions on the leaves.
RESULTS
The fungus was isolated and grown in
Hybrid bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. × C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy) is widely used on golf course putting greens in the southern United States. In March and April 1998, circular patches of dead grass 2 to 10 cm in diameter were observed on a bermudagrass putting green in College
Annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum) parasitised by Anguina agrostis and Corynebacterium rathayi causes neurological signs and brain lesions thought to be associated with a vasoconstrictor effect of the toxic grass. In three separate experiments of six to 112 days duration parasitised ryegrass was fed
