| Abstract/Contents: | "Winter killing of turfgrass is seldom due to sub-zero temperatures alone but is also caused by desiccation or attack by psychrophylic fungi. In western Canada snow mold on turfgrass is caused by an unidentified basidiomycete. Investigations on snow mold of turfgrass in Alberta showed that damage was consistently associated with accumulation of HCN in the host tissues. Snow mold on turfgrass was controlled in southern Alberta by raising the temperature of the soil a few degrees during cold periods in the winter. Minimum temperatures were maintained in the plots by soil-heating cables controlled by thermostats. The temperature required for control was critical. Cold-hardy varieties of turfgrass were more resistant to snow mold than non-hardy varieties." |
