In use of pesticides in golf courses has been increased steadily. Environmental concern as well as decrease in efficiency led the turfgrass management into an alternate approach of using beneficial microorganism to deal with turfgrass pests. This study was focused on the use of such microorganisms for improving cultural environment and minimizing the use of pesticides. Microorganisms antagonistic to turfgrass diseases were applied to zoysiagrass fairways and creeping bentgrass greens in Yusung country club. Tharch accumulation, disease occurrence, and other cultural environments were compared among the combinations of microorganisms and suppliemental N applications. The application of microorganisms antagonistic to turfgrass diseases improved turf resiliency. Thatch thickness was 3.03cm in the control plot but it was 2.11cm in plots treated by microorganisms, indicating significant effects of microorganism application on reduction of thatch accumulation. Number of microorganism that can decompose of cellulose was higher at the plots treated with useful microbial products and it was considered that existence of higher population of microorganisms resulted in reduction of thatch accumulation. In the evaluation of relationship between thatch accumulation and disease occurrence, greater thatch accumulation was observed at the golf courses which have been frequently infested by large patch. However, the rate of thatch accumulation varied among surveyed golf courses regardless of the year of turf establishment. Therefore, management practice which can be effective for reduction of thatch could result in large patch suppression. The application of microorganisms on the established turfgrasses reduced the occurrence rate of pythium blight and yellow path diseases, whereas occurrence of brown patch and dollar spot increased.

Effect of an antagonistic bacterium AF-2001, Pseudomonas cepacia, on control of turfgrass diseases as brown patch, Pythium blight, dollar spot, and large patch were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Results obtained in this study are summarized as follows. 1. Pseudomonas cepacia AF-2001 showed antagonism against to the pathogens causing brown patch, Pythium blighe, dollar spot and large patch. Especially, the biological agent showed strong antagonistic effect on the causal pathogens of brown patch, dollar spot, and anthracnose, but weak on Pythium blight 2. Populotion density of P. cepacia AR-2001 decreased ra;idly in turfgrass soils. Initial population of the agent was 2.4$\times$107 cfu/g soil, however, decreased to 1.4$\times$103, 6$\times$102 and 0 cfu/g soil on 10, 20, and 30 days after application, respectively. 3. Under the controlled controlled conditions of $27^{\circ}C$ and 95% RH, P. cepacia AR-2001 showed 100% control efficacy on brown patch either by pre-treatment or post-treatment of infection. However, Pythium blight was controlled about 94% by pre-treatment and only 29% by post-treatment 4. In field trials, P. cepacia AF-2001 did not suppress large patch and the control efficacy on other turfgrass diseases was lower than agro-chemicals such as tebuconazole and metalaxyl. Control efficacy of brown patch, Pythium and dollar spot by the biological agent was 57.4%, 40.4%, 61.5~87%, respectively. 5. Growth, color and texture of creeping bentgrass were not differ significantly between AF-2001 treatment and untreated control.

In May of 2004 through 2007, Leptosphaerulina leaf blight caused by Leptosphaerulina trifolii occurred on Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) at golf courses in Gangwon Province, Korea. Symptoms on the turfgrass caused by L. trifolii were leaf blights, dying from the leaf tip downwards to the crown, which appeared patches in the field because of local pockets of severely infected (blighted) grass. Perithecia were produced on old or weak leaves, including club-shaped asci, each of which contained 8 pale brown muriform ascospores with cross and longitudinal septa. Ascospores of the fungus isolated from the diseased leaf tissue and cultured on potato-dextrose agar (PDA) were muriform multicellular (composed of 3-6 cells) and $23.4-40.5{\times}7.8-15.6{\mu}m$ in size with 3-4 transverse and 0-3 longitudinal septa, which were morphologically identical to L. trifolii reported previously. DNA sequences of ribosomal RNA gene (internal transcribed spacer) of the fungus were homologous with similarity of 99% to those of L. trifolii isolates in GenBank database, confirming the identity of the causal agent of the disease. Pathogenicity of the fungus was also confirmed on the creeping bentgrass by Koch's postulates. This is first report of Leptosphaerulina leaf blight on turfgrass caused by L. trifolii in Korea.

The purpose of this study is to propose a standard putting green management program to prepare fast green suitable for international golf tournaments, and to conform whether the reported green speed model can be applied to the real field situations. The west course of Lakeside Country Club was selected for the case study. This study was initiated on August 1st, 2001 and continued through October 4th, 2001. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Following the long-term schedule, 'penncross' creeping bentgrass turf was mowed at 5.0mm(37days), 4.5mm(8days), 4.0mm(4days), 3.5mm(2days), 3.2mm(2days), 3.0mm(2days), 2.8mm(2days) and the mowing direction was changed daily. Variation of mowing height was reduced to a minimum range. Core aerification with deep tines was applied 19 days prior to the first practice round. Dry sand maintenance was top-dressed 2 times at 1.5mm/$m^2$ on the 17th day and 1.0mm/$m^2$ on the 10th day. Minimum irrigation was applied to keep the turf alive. During the tournament preparation week, dew on the putting greens was removed by using a sponge roller. Following the dew removal, the greens were cut once each morning at a height of 2.8mm. The mower used was the 21 inch working behind mower equipped with a tournament bedknife and 11 reel blades. Following the mowing, the peens were rolled with a light-weight roller in one direction in the morning. Rolling was used as a finishing technique to ensure that the surface was as smooth as possible, and to provide true ball roll and maximum green speed. In conclusion these management practices satisfied the daily green stimpmeter readings required for USGA championship play. 2. During the period of tournament preparation, no damage was observed on the green, but scalping in green edge appeared in about 0.39% of the total area of 18 greens in the west course.

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) have been used as biological control agents for control of various agro-forest insect pests, and are especially effective against soil-dwelling insect pests. Effect of soil moisture on pathogenicity of commercial EPNs for white grub control was evaluated in laboratory, pots, and golf courses. Pathogenicity of EPNs in sand column was variable depending on depth, soil moisture, and EPN species or strain. All tested EPNs (Heterorhabditis sp. GSNUH1, Heterorhabditis sp. GSNUH2, Steinernema carpocapsae GSN1, and S. longicaudum Nonsan strain) showed similar pathogenicity against the bait insect, great wax moth (Galleria mellonella) larva at 2 cm deep at a given soil moisture. However, pathogenicity of the Heterorhabditis sp. GSNUH1 strain was decreased with increasing soil moisture. Pathogenicity of S. carpocapsae GSN1 strain was the lowest in 3% soil moisture (v/w) at 7 cm depth. However, there was no difference in pathogenicity between Heterorhabditis sp. GSNUH2 and S. longicaudum Nonsan strain. Although pathogenicity of Heterorhabditis sp. KCTC 0991BP strain showed no difference against the 2nd instar of Exomala orientalis, that of the S. carpocapsae GSN1 strain was decreased in the laboratory depending on soil moisture. Highly pathogenic strain EPN, Heterorhabditis sp. KCTC 0991BP strain, showed higher pathogenicity at 100 mm irrigation than non-irrigation or 10 mm irrigation. However, poor pathogenic strain EPN, S. carpocapsae GSN1 strain, was not different in pathogenicity from the 2nd instar of Exomala orientalis in creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris) depending on irrigation amount in the pot. Pathogenicity of EPNs in field experiment at the tee of Ulsan golf club showed a similar trend to that in the pot experiment.

Paenibacillus elgii SD17 (KCTC $10016BP^T$=NBRC $100335^T$) was recently reported as a new species. Based on its inhibitory activity to Thanatephorus cucumeris AG1-1, strain SD17 was further evaluated for its potential as a biocontrol agent against soil-borne diseases of turf grasses in Korea. P. elgii SD17 showed a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity in vitro test and suppressed development of turf grass diseases; Pythium blight caused by Pythium aphanidermatum and brown patch caused by T. cucumeris AG1-1 on creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris) in the growth chamber tests. Under a condition for massive culture in a 5,000 L fermenter, P. elgii SD17 reached $6.4{\times}10^8$ spores/ml that resulted in approximately $1.0{\times}10^7$ cfu/g when formulated into a granule formulation (GR) using the whole culture broth instead of water. Using the GR formulation, biocontrol activity of P. elgii SD17 was confirmed. In the growth chamber tests, the GR formulation was effective against brown patch and Pythium blight with similar level of disease severity compared to each of the standard fungicides at the application rates of 10 g/$m^2$ or above. In the field tests, compared to each untreated control, the GR formulation also effectively controlled Pythium blight, brown patch and large patch at all the application rates of 5, 10 and 20 g/$m^2$, respectively, without significant response by the application rates. However its performance was inferior to each of the standard chemical fungicides. Based on these results, we consider this GR formulation of P. elgii SD17 as an effective biocontol agent to suppress Pythium blight, brown patch and large patch of turf grasses in Korea.

Turfgrass, the most widely grown ornamental crop, is severely affected by fungal pathogens including Sclerotinia homoeocarpa, Rhizoctonia solani, and Magnaporthe poae. At present, turfgrass fungal disease management predominantly relies on synthetic fungicide treatments. However, the extensive application of fungicides to the soil increases residual detection frequency, raising concerns for the environment and human health. The bacterial volatile compound, 2,3-butanediol (BDO), was found to induce plant resistance. In this study, we evaluated the disease control efficacy of a combination of stereoisomers of 2,3-BDO and commercial fungicides against turfgrass fungal diseases in both growth room and fields. In the growth room experiment, the combination of 0.9% 2R,3R-BDO (levo) soluble liquid (SL) formulation and 9% 2R,3S-BDO (meso) SL with half concentration of fungicides significantly increased the disease control efficacy against dollar spot and summer patch disease when compared to the half concentration of fungicide alone. In field experiments, the disease control efficiency of levo 0.9% and meso 9% SL, in combination with a fungicide, was confirmed against dollar spot and large patch disease. Additionally, the induction of defense-related genes involved in the salicylic acid and jasmonic acid/ethylene signaling pathways and reactive oxygen species detoxification-related genes under Clarireedia sp. infection was confirmed with levo 0.9% and meso 9% SL treatment in creeping bentgrass. Our findings suggest that 2,3-BDO isomer formulations can be combined with chemical fungicides as a new integrated tool to control Clarireedia sp. infection in turfgrass, thereby reducing the use of chemical fungicides.

본 연구는 우리나라 늦가을부터 초겨울의 집중적인 답압피해를 줄이기 위해 답압 시간과 비료의 종류가 골프장 그린에 식재된 크리핑 벤트그래스의 생육과 품질에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 하였다. 실험기간은 2005년 10월 1일$\sim$2005년 11월 30일까지 약 2개월간 인천그랜드 골프장내 시험포장에서 크리핑 벤트그래스의 '씨 사이드 II' 품종을 대상 실시되었고 실험구의 크기는 1m $\times$ 1.5m이며 3반복 완전임의배치법으로 하였다. 시험구 처리는 대조구와 답압 시간대(오전, 정오, 저녁) 및 비료종류(속효성 비료 1종, 완효성 비료 4종)를 달리한 실험을 수행하였다). 조사항목은 엽색, 질감, 밀도 및 내답압성을 시각적으로 평가하였고 잔디 밀도(개/$cm^2$), 뿌리길이(cm)를 조사하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 답압 시간대 변화에 따른 잔디 엽색 및 잔디질감은 답압처리 20일 이후인 10월 중순부터는 낮 1시부터 2시 사이 처리한 대조구 A4(10-15-10+정오)에 비해 오전 6시부터 7시 사이 처리한 A16(10-15-10+아침)에서 잔디품질이 나빠졌다. 잔디품질과 내답압성은 아침 시간대인 처리구(A16)와 저녁시간대 처리구(A17)는 낮 시간대 A4와 비교하여 큰 차이는 없었으나 11월 이후 일교차가 커지면서 품질이 떨어졌다. 2. 답압 시간대 변화에 따른 잔디 분얼경 밀도는 답압 30일후의 측정에서 대조구인 A4에 비해 A16가 밀도가 크게 떨어졌다. 또한 뿌리길이는 지상부 평가와는 달리 큰 차이가 없었다. 즉 단기적으로는 아침시간대의 답압이 지하부보다는 지상부 생육에 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 3. 비료 종류의 변화에 따른 잔디 엽색은 처리 후 10일까지는 속효성 비료인 A18의 엽색이 진하였다. 그러나 실험 기간이 지나면서 질소성분이 지속적으로 공급되는 완효성비료 처리구인 A20(11-3-22), A21(20-3-20) 및 A22(10-3-10)가 진한 엽색을 유지하였다. 잔디의 질감은 잔디의 엽색과 달리 실험 30일 이후 A4와 Al8가 낮았다. 잔디품질과 내답압성은 속효성 비료인 A18보다 완효성 비료 처리구(A22)가 가장 좋았다. 4. 잔디 분얼경 밀도는 실험 15일과 30일 후 각각 20.2개/$cm^2$와 16.3개/$cm^2$로 A22가 가장 많았다. 그러나 처리구별 평균 잔디 분얼경밀도는 답압처리 15일 이후부터 답압 전 26개에서 20.2개, 13.6개로 급속히 감소하였다. 뿌리길이는 A18가 11.7cm로 가장 짧았고 다른 처리구에서는 14$\sim$14.3cm로 차이 적었다. 이상 결과를 종합하여 보면 잔디의 답압으로 인한 피해를 최소화하고 건강한 잔디생육을 위하여 첫째, 관리적 방법으로 답압피해가 심할 수 있는 아침이나 저녁시간대의 관리작업 및 내장객 답압을 최소화하기 위해 홀컵 이동이나 교체시기를 탄력적으로 운영해야 할 것이다. 둘째, 동계기간 중에는 티업시간을 최대한 늦추거나 마지막 티업 시간을 당겨서 이른 아침과 저녁시간에 서리와 잔디의 결빙으로 인한 잔디의 손상을 최소화하여야 할 것이다. 셋째, 비료의 선택에 있어 단기적으로 답압과 마모가 예상되는 경우에는 왕성한 회복을 촉진하는 속효성 비료를 선택한다. 반면 시간의 경과에 따른 생육의 균일도, 즉 엽색이나 밀도 등을 가능한 오랜 기간 동안 일정하게 유지할 경우 완효성 비료를 사용해야 할 것으로 판단된다.
