First Report of Dollar Spot Caused by Sclerotinia homoeocarpa on Agrostis stolonifera in Argentina

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 transver...

520 |a 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 transverse chlorotic bands that sometimes extended to the tip with brown lesions inside the bands. A fungus was isolated from symptomatic tissue after surface sterilization with 2% bleach for 1 min and plating on 2% potato dextrose agar (PDA). The mycelium was fluffy and white. The culture turned olive to brown and developed black stromata on the lower side of the plate base after 2 weeks. Pathogenicity tests were performed on 2-month-old healthy plants of A. stolonifera (cv. Crenshaw) grown in sterilized sand. Recently cut, 14-mm-diameter plugs of A. stolonifera were placed in 22- × 17-cm plastic trays filled with a sterilized mixture of 50:50 soil/sand (vol/vol). Plants were maintained at a 7-mm height. Two sources of inoculum were prepared; one was cultured on PDA at 22 to 25°C for 10 days and the other was prepared by incubating in sterilized soil at room temperature for 14 days. Twenty pieces of 1-cm-diameter agar blocks containing mycelium were placed in each plug at the base of the plants. In the infested soil inoculation, 25 g of soil were distributed among the plants on the substrate surface. Control plants were treated with either sterile PDA pieces or noninfested soil. The trays were irrigated with sterilized distilled water, covered with polyethylene bags, and kept in a controlled environment chamber at 25°C with 12 h per day of fluorescent light for 30 days. Leaf chlorosis appeared 7 and 10 days after inoculation for the agar-plug and infested-soil methods, respectively. Leaf necrosis was observed at day 23. Controls remained asymptomatic. The inoculated fungus was reisolated from symptomatic leaf tissue. The pathogen was identified as Sclerotinia homoeocarpa (1,2). To our knowledge, this is the first report of Sclerotinia homoeocarpa causing dollar spot disease on Agrostis stolonifera in Argentina and the first report of a disease on golf courses in our country.
