PAGE EIGHT Research Review Blue Grass Growth Hindered by Fungus Ey CLAUDIA LEVY If your favorite gulf course has been looking peaked lately...A may be afflicted with a case of a rela tively _ new disease whibb has struck severely at Pennsylvania's IVlerion Blue Grass in the last - few years. . THE CAUSE of this disease, a fungus, was identified by Houston B. Couch, associate professor of plant pathology, who is in his third' year with the research project. The Merion strain, ,introdueed in 1952, is a popular grass for home lawns, fairways and parks. Couch said. "It's a rugged grass and takes a lot of tramping," he added. live years ago a disease appeared which, struck at the roots and crowns of the grass. This disease killed the grass within three years of its planting," he said. The disease is • very severe in Pennsylvania, Couch said, particu larly . in .the-southeastern section of the state around Philadelphia. Seed production and sale is big 'there, he said, but the adverse publicity about Merion Blue Grass proiripted the Pennsylvania Turf grass Council to grant Couch $4.800 ': ., vinually to work on a .con- Get on the nation's top inertial guidance team with AC's career acceleration program Recent technical graduates coming. into AC ore offered a 32-week career acceleration program which -moves them rapidly into an actively productive position.

In addition to uncovering the cause of the disease, in their first year of research Couch and his associates found two fungicides that can kill the fungus. Last year they plotted a standard of-chemi cal control_ and worked on the development of that control. • The disease? fs;yet unnamed, can be wiped but completely, Couch said, in those isolated areas which are treated. However, the cost would be too great to elimi nate the disease in the state com pletely, he added; This year the researchers will conduct field trials on .

Laboratiiry and greenhouse testing Will concentrate on the de velopment of the disease hoW light, soil and air temperatures, nutrition and humidity affect it. 'WE PLAN to study the motion of the disease, taking it apart and discovering how environmental factors affect it," Couch said. The researchers also are study ing the variability of the strength of the fungus, which is more severe iri different parts of the Mate. _.AVAILABILITY• DATE THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, UNIVERSITY PARK, PENNSYLVANIA *COLLE DRESSERS, BREAKFAST SETS.
