abstract = {Hybrid bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon ? C. transvaalensis) was found to be affected by an unknown foliar disease during a survey conducted from April 2011 through April 2015 in the golf courses of Hainan Province in southern China. Affected plants initially had small, circular or oblong spots, dark brown in color on their leaves. Frequently, spots on the leaves would coalesce into large lesions with dark brownish-black margins. Leaf blight may occur under high disease pressure, resulting in black patches 2- to 15-cm in diameter on close mown turf such as golf course putting greens and fairways. Symptomatic leaf samples were collected from infected plants and cultured on potato dextrose agar. A sterile, filamentous fungus was isolated in pure culture. On the basis of colony morphology and combined sequences of the internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS), glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF-1α), the fungus was identified as Curvularia malina. Pathogenicity testing by artificial inoculation showed C. malina isolates were pathogenic to healthy hybrid bermudagrass and Koch?s postulates were fulfilled by re-isolating the pathogen.}
