| Summary: | Disease samples exhibiting symptoms of brown patch, yellow patch and
Pythium blight were taken from several golf courses in Malaysia Isolation and
identification of the pathogens indicated that Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn, Rhizoctonia
cerealis Van der Hoeven and Pythium aphanidermatum (Edson) Fitzpatrick were the
causal agents respectively. Identification of the pathogens was based on their
morphological characteristics.
Isolation of bacteria from thatch resulted in the isolation of ten bacterial
isolates of which five were found to be antagonistic against the pathogens. The
bacterial isolates were identified as Burkholderia cepacia (syn. Pseudomona.
cepacia), Serratia marcescens, Chromobacterium violaceum, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa and Bacillus megaterium.
B.cepacia, P. aeruginosa and B. megaterium were found to |
