Fungicide strategies for the control of turfgrass winter diseases

Abstract: It is a goal of the turf industry to reduce fungicide use, maximize fungicide efficacy, and minimize the risk of fungicide resistance. Based on these integrated pest management principles and current fungicide labels, our objective was to elucidate the optimal use of propiconazole (Banner Maxx, 156 g a.i. L -1 ), azoxystrobin + propiconazole (Headway, 62.5 + 104 g a.i. L -1 ), and fludioxonil (Medallion TL, 104 g a.i. L -1 ) for the control of the winter-active pathogens Micordochium nivale and Typhula incarna… Show more

“…This disease occurs in cool, humid regions such as in northern Europe and the U.S. Pacific Northwest, where it is considered to be the most important turfgrass pathogen (Vargas, 2005). Traditional fungicide applications are successful at mitigating this disease (Aamlid, Waalen, & Espevig, 2015; Vincelli, Clarke, & Munshaw, 2017), although there have been reports of M. nivale resistance to dicarboximide fungicides (Chastagner & Vassey, 1982; Gourlie & Hsiang, 2017). Recent regulations limiting the use of pesticides have generated concerns about the availability of synthetic chemicals to manage turfgrass pests such as Microdochium patch (Christie, 2010).…”

“…Both covers, when used with A. capillaris, caused a 25% increase in microdochium patch compared with natural winter conditions in the spring of 2013. Most likely, the single application of fungicide in September was not sufficient to keep A. capillaris under the covers free from disease throughout the entire winter and should have been followed by a new application, preferably of a contact fungicide in November (Aamlid et al, 2014). Moreover, the temperature under the protective covers was never lower than −6°C, which was earlier reported to be a minimal temperature for M. nivale growth (Årsvoll, 1975), and air conditions were aerobic, as also required for growth of the fungus (Tronsmo et al, 2013).…”

“…One possibility that still remains open is whether increased populations of G. catenulatum or Streptomyces in the rhizosphere may contribute to a reduction in the number of fungicide applications on Scandinavian golf greens or from two applications, or three to two applications, to only one application yr −1 (Aamlid et al, 2014). Practical experience from Finland suggest that this might be the case (K. Laukkanen, Finnish Golf Union, personal communication, 2014), and the question warrants further investigation.…”

“…This fungus causes Microdochium patch both during the growing season and after snow melt. To control the disease, a common strategy in Nordic countries is to treat the greens preventatively with fungicides one to three times before winter (Aamlid et al, 2014). However, the Directive 2009/128 EC of the European Union calls for a reduction in pesticide use through the introduction of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), including replacement of chemical pesticides with low‐risk biological or physical alternatives (EU, 2009a).…”
