Yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis) is an annual invasive weed in the United States with Mediterranean origins. The expense of chemical control and the vast area of invasion make this weed an appropriate target for classical biological control. Observations of a field site in southern France revealed small orange galls on the leaves of yellow starthistle seedlings caused by the fungus Synchytrium solstitiale. Inoculation of yellow starthistle seedlings with a suspension of zoospores released from infected tissue resulted in infection. Ten days after inoculation, typical orange galls appeared on the exposed tissue. Preliminary host range testing showed up to 100% infection of C. solstitialis seedlings from both France and the United States and infection of Carthamus tinctorius, Centaurea americana, C. diffusa, C. rothrockii, C. squarrosa, and Helianthus annuus seedlings. No symptoms were observed on seedlings of Centaurea calcitrapa, C. maculosa, C. sulfurea, Cirsium californica, C. occidentale, Cynera cardunculus, and Taraxacum officinale. Zoospores were released in a pH range between 4.45 and 8.25 and optimally at temperatures between 5 and 15°C. Infection of yellow starthistle seedlings occurred after a minimum 1-h exposure to a zoospore suspension at 20°C.

Yellow starthistle (YST), Centaurea solstitialis L., is a weedy plant that is widely distributed in the Krasnodar Region of Russia. It is also an aggressive invasive weed in the western United States and a target of biological control efforts. In the summer of 2006, several hundred diseased plants were found near Taman, Russia. Symptoms of the disease were yellow, water-soaked leaf spots. Diseased leaves were collected, air dried, and sent to the Russian State Collection of Phytopathogenic Organisms at the All Russia Institute of Phytopathology (ARIP). The fungus isolated from the diseased leaves conformed to Periconia igniaria E.W. Mason & M.B. Ellis (teleomorph Didymosphaeria igniaria C. Booth) (1). Colonies of the fungus grew rapidly on potato glucose nutrition medium with aerial mycelium from fluffy to pressed and colorless at the beginning and darkening to black with age. The medium side of the colonies gradually became violet purple to wine colored. Conidiophores had aerial mycelia as much as 550 μm long and 9 to 13 μm wide tapering to 6 to 10 μm. Conidiophores were dark with short, swollen branched stipes. Conidia, formed in short twisted chains, were spherical, dark brown, 7 to 9 μm in diameter, and covered by 1 μm long spines. Yellow starthistle plants were grown in growth chambers with day/night air temperatures of 26 to 28/20 to 22°C, 60 to 70% relative air humidity, and 10,000 lx light for 16 h. Fifteen plants in the rosette stage were spray inoculated with an aqueous suspension of P. igniaria conidia at 5 × 106 conidia/ml and 5 ml per plant. Disease on leaves was observed on all plants 3 to 4 weeks after inoculation when the plants started to bolt. When the plants reached flowering stage, diffused yellow spots were observed on stems and inflorescences and all flowers died. Diseased leaves were surface disinfested and put on potato saccharose nutrition medium. P. igniaria was reisolated from 3 to 5 leaves of each plant and from flowers and stems that developed from 10 inoculated rosettes. Flowers of 10 YST plants were also inoculated with P. igniaria isolated from the previously inoculated plants. Disease developed in the flowers of all inoculated plants, and the symptoms were identical to those observed when rosettes were inoculated and disease followed bolting and flowering. No symptoms developed on four noninoculated plants included in each test. Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of the fungus were obtained and compared with sequences from GenBank. An uncultured soil fungus and three isolates of P. macrospinosa Lefebvre & Aar.G. Johnson produced the best homology (96%). No sequences for P. igniaria were available for comparison, but the description of P. macrospinosa (conidia 18 to 32 μm in diameter with 2.5 to 6 μm long spines) is clearly different than our isolate. ITS sequences for our isolate have been deposited in GenBank (Accession No. EU367468) and a voucher specimen has been deposited with the U.S. National Fungus Collection (BPI 878355). To our knowledge, this is the first report of P. igniaria causing disease on YST. Live cultures are being maintained at the Russian State Collection of Phytopathogenic Organisms in ARIP.

Rush Skeletonweed

AbstractRush skeletonweed is an aggressive perennial weed that establishes itself on land in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), and persists during cropping following contract expiration. It depletes critical soil moisture required for yield potential of winter wheat. In a winter wheat/fallow cropping system, weed control is maintained with glyphosate and tillage during conventional fallow, and with herbicides only in no-till fallow. Research was conducted for control of rush skeletonweed at two sites in eastern Washington, Lacrosse and Hay, to compare the effectiveness of a weed-sensing sprayer and broadcast applications of four herbicides (aminopyralid, chlorsulfuron + metsulfuron, clopyralid, and glyphosate). Experimental design was a split-plot with herbicide and application type as main and subplot factors, respectively. Herbicides were applied in the fall at either broadcast or spot-spraying rates depending on sprayer type. Rush skeletonweed density in May was reduced with use of aminopyralid (1.1 plants m−2), glyphosate (1.4 plants m−2), clopyralid (1.7 plants m−2), and chlorsulfuron + metsulfuron (1.8 plants m−2) compared with the nontreated check (2.6 plants m−2). No treatment differences were observed after May 2019. There was no interaction between herbicide and application system. Area covered using the weed-sensing sprayer was, on average, 52% (P < 0.001) less than the broadcast application at the Lacrosse location but only 20% (P = 0.01) at the Hay location. Spray reduction is dependent on foliar cover in relation to weed density and size. At Lacrosse, the weed-sensing sprayer reduced costs for all herbicide treatments except aminopyralid, with savings up to US$6.80 per hectare. At Hay, the weed-sensing sprayer resulted in economic loss for all products because of higher rush skeletonweed density. The weed-sensing sprayer is a viable fallow weed control tool when weed densities are low or patchy.
