The document discusses developing a fungicide program for 2011 to control diseases on creeping bentgrass putting greens, highlighting the need to identify key diseases, determine when they are typically active based on historical weather, and select fungicides to target the expected diseases, adjusting treatments based on actual weather conditions.

Creeping Bentgrass Disease Control Program for 2011
1. Creeping Bentgrass Putting Greens:
What’s the game plan for 2011?

Department of Plant Pathology
North Carolina State University

endangered species in
North Carolina?
Agrostis stolonifera
12. Which bacteria
did they see? Is it a
pathogen?
The diagnostic
lab saw some bacteria
in our samples.

They didn’t say, but in our samples.
clearly we have a huge bacteria
problem here.
18. Bacteria Research Plans for 2011
• closing in on an identification for the Acidovorax
species associated with creeping bentgrasss
• inoculations of field plots with Acidovorax and
Xanthomonas isolates to determine their
pathogenicity
• evaluation of antibiotics and other compounds
as possible control practices
19. The problems in 2010 actually started in May.

39. 1. What diseases do you need to control?
• ‘A-1’ creeping bentgrass
• established in 2005
• USGA construction dollar spot
Pythium root rot
algae
brown patch
fairy ring
Pythium root dysfunction
40. 2. What conditions favor these diseases?
Pythium root dysfunction - average daily soil temperatures
between 50ºF and 70ºF
fairy ring - average daily soil temperatures between 55ºF and
65ºF
dollar spot - low temperatures above 50ºF
algae - high temperatures above 80ºF
brown patch - low temperatures above 60ºF
Pythium root rot - wet soils
43. Too
many
fungicides
to choose from!
