Abstract
Of 125 isolates collected from 35 golf courses, sensitivity of 44 isolates of Pythium species to metalaxyl was determined on corn meal agar with various concentrations of metalaxyl (0.1, 1.0, 10.0, 50.0, 100.0, and $250.0{\mu}g\;a.\;i/ml$). The isolates were able to be categorized into the sensitive and resistant groups based on hyphal growth measured in terms of colony diameters on the medium with $1.0\;and\;10.0{\mu}g\;a.\;i./ml$. When compared with hyphal growth on the medium without metalaxyl, hyphal growth of the sensitive group which included 31 isolates was inhibited by $66{\sim}98%$ on the medium with $1.0{\mu}g\;a.\;i./ml$, whereas that of the resistant group which included 13 isolates grew well and the hyphal growth was inhibited only by $6{\sim}26%$. When $10.0{\mu}g\;a.\;i./ml$ of metalaxyl was included in the medium, hyphal growth of the sensitive and resistant groups was inhibited by $82{\sim}99%\;and\;27{\sim}47%$, respectively. Occurrence of metalaxyl-resistant isolates of Pythium spp. not only from turfgrasses on golf courses but also from other crops was observed for the first time in Korea. Metalaxyl-resistant isolates occurred most frequently in P. graminicola. Control effects of metalaxyl were determined by applying metalaxyl after and before inoculation of 4 and 3 isolates of sensitive and resistant isolates of P. graminicola, respectively, to creeping bentgrass in pots. The minimum concentration of metalaxyl to control metalaxyl-sensitive isolates was $6.25{\mu}g\;a.\;i./ml$, whereas the disease caused by the metalaxyl-resistant isolates could not be controlled with $12.50{\mu}g\;a.\;i./ml$ of metalaxyl. The disease was controlled more effectively by an application of metalaxyl prior to inoculation than after occurrence of the disease.
국내 35개 골프장에 식재된 잔디류의 잎마름 증상으로부터 분리한 125개 Pythium spp. 균주 중 분리시기별, 골프장별 그리고 Pythium spp. 별로 선발한 44개 균주를 사용하여 실내실험을 통해 metalaxyl에 대한 감수성정도를 조사하였다. 다양한 농도(0, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, 50.0, 100.0 및 $250.0{\mu}g\;a.\;i./ml$)로 metalaxyl을 함유한 Difco corn meal agar 배지에서 균사생장억제 정도를 조사한 결과 1.0과 $10.0{\mu}g\;a.\;i./ml$수준의 metalaxyl에 대해 감수성정도에 따라 크게 2 group으로 나눌 수 있었다. Metalaxyl 함량이 $10.0{\mu}g\;a.\;i./ml$에서 균사생장억제율은 감수성 group에 속한 31개 균쥬는 $66{\sim}98%$, 저항성 group에 속한 13개 균주는 $6{\sim}26%$이었고. $10.0{\mu}g\;a.\;i./ml$에서는 각각 $82{\sim}99%$와 $27{\sim}47%$를 나타냈다. 이처럼 metalaxyl에 저항성을 나타내는 Pythium spp.의 출현과 골프장 잔디에서의 분리는 국내에서 처음 보고되는 것이다. Metalaxyl에 저항성을 나타낸 Pythium spp. 균주 중 분리빈도가 상대적으로 높았던 P. graminicola 중 metalaxyl에 감수성을 나타내는 4개 균주와 저항성을 나타내는 3개 균주를 이용하여 pot 내 creeping bentgrass에 대하여 농약 스크리닝시험을 한 결과 metalaxyl 감수성 균의 경우 $6.25{\mu}g\;a.\;i./ml$ 처리구에서는 병 발생이 없었지만 저항성 균의 경우는 $12.5{\mu}g\;a.\;i/ml$와 그 이상의 처리구에서도 방제가 되지 않았다. 50.0과 $100.0{\mu}g\;a.\;i/ml$ 처리구에서는 creeping bentgrass에 약해를 나타냈다. 병원균 접종 전 약제처리가 발병 후 처리에 비하여 우수한 방제효과를 나타냈다.
