Preemergence Control of Silvery Threadmoss (Bryum argenteum) Grown from Spores and Bulbils in Axenic Culture

Angela R. Post; David Scott McCall; Shawn D. Askew

Silvery threadmoss naturally reproduces through spore and bulbil production, both of which have potential to be controlled prior to establishment. Studies have not evaluated effects of turf protection products on moss protonema or gametophyte growth from spores or bulbils; consequently, most moss is controlled POST on putting greens. Initial studies were performed to determine the optimal growth temperature for spores and bulbils in sterile culture. Protonemata from spores grew optimally at 29.5 C and gametophytes from bulbils grew optimally at 22.5 C. Three subsequent in vitro studies were conducted to evaluate effects of turf protection products on moss development from spores or bulbils in axenic culture at a constant 24 C. Carfentrazone, which effectively controls mature silvery threadmoss gametophytes POST, also reduced green cover of moss protonemata and gametophyte production from spores and bulbils. All combinations with carfentrazone reduced area under the progress curve (AUPC) for green cover of moss for both spores and bulbils by 80% or more by 3 wk after treatment. Sulfentrazone, oxyfluorfen, oxadiazon, saflufenacil, flumioxazin, and pyraflufen-ethyl reduced AUPC of moss equivalent to carfentrazone for both propagule types. The two fosetyl-Al products, phosphite, and mineral oil caused an increase in silvery threadmoss cover between 22 and 113% of the nontreated for spores; however, only methiozolin positively influenced AUPC (90.2%) compared to the nontreated for bulbils. Though silvery threadmoss is typically targeted POST on putting greens, there are products that can provide PRE control, including the industry standard of carfentrazone. These data suggest that differences may occur between turf protection products in their ability to suppress silvery threadmoss establishment from spores or bulbils. Nomenclature: Carfentrazone; flumioxazin; fosetyl-Al; methiozolin, 5-(2,6-diflourobenzyloxymethyl)-5-methyl-3-(3-methylthiophen-2-yl)-4,5-dihydro-isoxazole; mineral oil; oxadiazon; oxyfluorfen; phosphite; pyraflufen-ethyl; saflufenacil, 2-Chloro-5-[3,6-dihydro-3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1(2H)-pyrimidinyl]-4-fluoro-N-[[methyl(1-methylethyl)amino]sulfonyl]benzamide; sulfentrazone; silvery threadmoss; Bryum argenteum Hedw. Bryum argenteum es un musgo que se reproduce naturalmente mediante esporas y pequeños bulbos, y para ambos hay potencial de control antes del establecimiento. No hay estudios que hayan evaluado los efectos de productos de protección para céspedes sobre el crecimiento del musgo en estados de protonema y gametofítico a partir de esporas o bulbos. Consecuentemente, la mayoría de los musgos son controlados POST en putting greens. Estudios iniciales fueron realizados para determinar la temperatura para el crecimiento óptimo de esporas y bulbos en un medio estéril. Se creció protonema a partir de esporas óptimamente a 29.5 C y gametofitos a partir de bulbos a 22.5 C. Luego se realizaron tres estudios in vitro para evaluar los efectos de productos de protección para céspedes sobre el desarrollo del musgo en un cultivo axénico a una temperatura constante de 24 C. Carfentrazone, el cual controla efectivamente gametofitos maduros de B. argenteum en aplicaciones POST, también redujo la cobertura verde de protonometa del musgo y la producción de gametofitos a partir de esporas y bulbos. Todas las combinaciones con carfentrazone redujeron el área bajo la curva de progreso (AUPC) de la cobertura verde del musgo tanto para esporas como para bulbos en 80% o más a 3 semanas después del tratamiento. Sulfentrazone, oxyfluorfen, oxadiazon, saflufenacil, flumioxazin, y pyraflufen-ethyl redujeron AUPC del musgo a niveles equivalentes a carfentrazone para ambos tipos de propágulo. Los dos productos de fosetyl-Al, phosphite, y aceite mineral causaron un incremento en la cobertura del musgo entre 22 y 113% con comparación al testigo sin tratamiento para esporas. Sin embargo, solamente methiozolin influenció positivamente AUPC (90.2%) al compararlo con el testigo sin tratamiento en el caso de los bulbos. Aunque B. argenteum es típicamente controlado POST en putting greens, hay productos que pueden brindar control PRE, incluyendo el estándar de la industria, carfentrazone. Estos datos sugieren que diferencias pueden ocurrir entre productos de protección para césped con respecto a su habilidad para suprimir el establecimiento del musgo B. argenteum a partir de esporas o bulbos.

Effect of Mowing Height and Fertility on Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) Encroachment and Brown Patch Severity in Tall Fescue

Abstract Tall fescue is a commonly used turfgrass in the temperate and transition zone areas of the United States. During hot, humid summers, tall fescue is under stress and is susceptible to Rhizoctonia solani (brown patch) infection, causing turf thinning, leading to encroachment from weeds, such as bermudagrass. Field trials were established to evaluate the effect of mowing height and fertility programs on disease severity and bermudagrass encroachment in tall fescue. Mowing at 10 cm resulted in less bermudagrass encroachment than did a 6-cm mowing height. Increasing the nitrogen fertilization level from 49 to 171 and 220 kg N ha−1 generally led to more bermudagrass encroachment at the 6-cm, but not the 10-cm, mowing height. Plots receiving 220 kg N ha−1 annually at the 6-cm mowing height had the most brown patch. Turfgrass cover was greatest in plots mowed at 10 cm and receiving 220 kg N ha−1 annually. Nomenclature: Bermudagrass; Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.; brown patch; Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn; tall fescue; Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) S.J. Darbyshire (syn. Festuca arundinacea Schreb. var. arundinacea Schreb.). Resumen Lolium arundinaceum es usado comúnmente como césped en zonas templadas y de transición en los Estados Unidos. Durante veranos calientes y húmedos, L. arundinaceum sufre estrés y es susceptible a la infección de Rhizoctonia solani (mancha parda), lo que causa el raleo del césped y la consecuente colonización de malezas, tales como Cynodon dactylon. Se establecieron estudios de campo para evaluar el efecto de la altura de chapia y los programas de fertilidad en la severidad de la enfermedad y la colonización de C. dactylon en L. arundinaceum. La chapia a 10 cm resultó en menor colonización de C. dactylon que la chapia a 6 cm de altura. El incrementar el nivel de fertilización nitrogenada de 49 a 171 y 220 kg N ha−1 generalmente llevó a una mayor colonización de C. dactylon en la chapia a 6 cm, pero no en la chapia a 10 cm de altura. Las parcelas que recibieron 220 kg N ha−1 anualmente y chapia a 6 cm de altura tuvieron la mayor severidad de mancha parda. La cobertura del césped fue mayor en las parcelas con chapia a 10 cm y que recibieron 220 kg N ha−1 anualmente.
