| Question: | "Our courts over the autumn, winter and early spring period, were severely affected by Fusarium patch disease. Symptoms were controlled quite effectively using fungicides but this has proved expensive and we are wondering if it would be possible to minimise the chances of disease attack by any other means." |
|---|
| Answer/Response: | "Weather conditions during the past winter were particularly suitable for Fusarium attack with long periods of damp weather. Many areas were affected where little disease trouble has been experienced in the past. Under such conditions, little can be done apart from keeping a continuous eye open for the first symptoms of disease attack and ensuring that it is possible to spray promptly. During the winter it is best to use a contact-type of fungicide such as products based on iprodione, quintozene or chlorothalonil. On the other hand, during the growing season a systemic fungicide gives longer lasting protection as it is actually absorbed into the plant. This, however, only happens when growth is taking place. Available fungicides of this type include benomyl, carbendazim, thiabendazole and thiophanate-methyl. General management can also help minimise disease attack. Fertilizer, particularly nitrogen, should not be given later than the end of August as soft lush growth in the autumn is particularly prone to disease attack. Methods of keeping the surface as dry as possible, such as morning switching and scarifying to reduce fibre accumulation are also helpful in reducing disease incidence. Grass should not be allowed to grow too long if growth is taking place and care should be taken not to smother the sward with top dressing lying on the surface for any length of time." |
