| Question: | "We are always troubled on our green with fusarium patch disease and this year has been no exception. We have tried the established turf fungicides with varying degrees of success, but having read in your Journals about the use of Benlate, we would like to know whether we should try this on our green." |

| Answer/Response: | "Benlate is a systematic fungicide based on benomyl which has been used in horticulture for some time, but it has only recently been introduced as a turf fungicide. Since it is systematic in its action it functions both as a preventative and as a curative fungicide. Benlate does appear to be very effective against fusarium. The rate of application currently recommended is 6 oz./1,000 sq. ft. diluted in 2 gal. of water and applied from a sprayer or watering-can fitted with a fine rose. However, it is quite likely that lower rates than this will be sufficiently effective for the recommendations to be changed in the near future. This would of course bring a desirable reduction in the cost of the treatment which is at present rather high. You may be interested to know that Benlate is also effective against dollar spot when applied at a rate of 4 oz./1,000 sq. ft., particularly if applied after an application of a nitrogeneous fertilizer. It is likely that the application rate for dollar spot may be reduced. Despite the cost it would certainly be worth trying this fungicide in your circumstances especially since there is some evidence that grass recovery is sometimes particularly good after its use. Several firms are marketing Benlate in this country, so you should have no difficulty in obtaining some for a trial." |
