Question: | "Please find enclosed a sample of turf from dead areas of grass which have recently appeared on our greens. We would be pleased if you could examine this and give us recommendations regarding treatment." |
Answer/Response: | "On examination by our Biologist two different types of fungi were found - Drechslera (Helminthosporium) and Curvularia. As both these fungi can be saprophitic as well as parasitic it is not possible to establish what the basic cause of the die-back was. Initial weakening of the sward may have been caused by an inadequacy in the management, e.g. over-close mowing, or too much fertilizer etc. We do, however, think a fungicide should be applied in the near future and a suitable material such as the Solusanigran which you already use should be applied at the rate of 80 g/120m2 diluted in 12 litre water. Some renovation with grass seed may later prove necessary." |
