In vitro and in vivo antagonism of pathogenic turfgrass fungi by Streptomyces hygroscopicus strains YCED9 and WYE53.
K Chamberlain,D L Crawford +1 more
TL;DR: Results showed that by integrating the use of the S. hygroscopicus YCED9/WYE53 bio-dethatch formulation into routine turf management practices, it should be possible to both minimize thatch build-up while also controlling fungal turfgrass diseases by way of the antifungal biocontrol activity of these strains.

Festuca arundinacea Schreber (F. elatior L. ssp. arundinacea (Schreber) Hackel)
TL;DR: A perennial grass producing large, loose, but sometimes dense, tussocks, normally without short rhizomes, and without stolons, this is a complex species that is referred to as F elatior in much of the older literature.

Fungicide Sensitivity of Sclerotinia homoeocarpa from Golf Courses in Ohio
TL;DR: In vitro fungicide sensitivity assays using single discriminatory concentrations of thiophanate-methyl, propiconazole, and iprodione were developed in this study for evaluating field efficacy of these fungicides and the prevalence of fungicide insensitivity within S. homoeocarpa isolated from golf courses throughout Ohio.

A New Operation for Producing Disease-Suppressive Compost from Grass Clippings
TL;DR: The use of grass clippings discharged from golf courses as the raw material for production of a suppressive compost to control Rhizoctonia large-patch disease in mascarene grass was evaluated to achieve hygienic, high-speed composting.
