Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potential fungicide effectiveness on the strength of turfgrass. Explains that "while...science has produced many fungicides designed to prevent and cure outbreaks of the most damaging turf diseases, superintendents need to both properly choose the correct fungicide for a particular pathogen and then properly apply that fungicide." Presents possible tips for creating a turf management plan, including to "develop a base of knowledge"; "develop a plan"; "rely on cultural practices"; "[scout]"; and "do your own research". Concludes that "by understanding the challenges associated with turf diseases...superintendents will be able to best develop their...fungicide program that considers the best products to use and the appropriate timing and application practices." |
