Materials for Pythium Flora of Japan (II) Pythium torulosum and P. vanterpoolii from Golfgreens of Manilagrass or Bentgrass Materials for Pythium Flora of Japan (II) Pythium torulosum and P. vanterpoolii from Golfgreens of Manilagrass or Bentgrass

Hundreds of isolates of Pythium torulosum Coker & Patterson and P. vanterpoolii V. Kouyeas & H. Kouyeas were obtained, each as a non-pathogen and pathogen, from spring dead spot of manilagrass and Pythium blight of creeping bentgrass. Both fungi were described and illustrated. Differences between the two species were discussed from biological and pathological points of view.
