Abstract:A leaf blight of Cynodon hybrid was found to be an important disease on golf courses in Wuhan, but there have been few reports of this disease in China. To better manage this disease, we obtained some isolates, tested Kochs postulates, identified and studied some biological characteristics and screened fungicides of the pathogen. The results showed that the pathogen was Curvularia lunata (Wakker)Boedijn based on morphological characteristics. The pathogen grew well at a temperature range of 20-35℃ as well as a pH range of 5-8, in which the optimal temperature and pH were 25℃ and 6, respectively. Through carbon sources testing, glucose and sucrose were found to support growth which were significantly faster than other sources, while galactose was found to support the slowest growth. Among the nitrogen sources tested, potassium nitrate supported the fastest growth, whereas ammonium chloride and aminoacetic acid supported the least growth. Hyphal viability was completely lost when hyphal agar plugs incubated at 55℃ for 10 minutes. Fungicide testing on PDA plates revealed that 10% difenoconazole showed the greatest inhibition of hyphal growth among the ones tested.
