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."
