| Question: | "As you are aware, our course is basically on heavy clay soil and for that reason new greens constructed two years ago were designed using the pure sand method. Maintenance of these greens is proving difficult and we have recently been disturbed to learn that there is an increased danger of damaging Take-all patch disease on greens of this type. Could you comment?" |

| Answer/Response: | "There is certainly an increased danger of incurring attacks of Take-all patches disease (formerly known as Ophiobolus) in sand greens as opposed to conventional soil greens. The trouble lies in the fact that there are very few natural fungi and bacteria in the sand layer which are antagonistic to the disease organism. In natural soils such natural enemies of the disease fungus tend to limit its activity unless the balance is disturbed by operations such as heavy liming. One or two cases of severe attacks of Take-all patch disease on sand greens have been brought to our attention recently. If the disease does develop then unfortunately it is impossible for us at the present time to recommend an effective fungicidal treatment. None of the fungicides at present available will seriously affect the disease although some success in limiting the severity of disease symptoms has been obtained by using a carbendazim fungicide at twice the normal rate. The fungus occurs in the surface soil and it is therefore important to thoroughly spike and fork disease areas before applying the fungicide, the aim to begin to introduce the fungicide into the surface soil and into contact with the fungus. In future it may be possible to artificially infect susceptible golf greens with naturally antagonistic fungi but this type of biological control is still in an experimental stage." |
