Question:"May we ask you to assist us in getting rid of brown-patch in putting greens? Something has been tried; I am under the impression that it was a suspension of calomel. It did not work well. This is the first year that yellow-patch has appeared here, it followed the application of ammonium sulfate, I think in excessive amounts."
Source of Question:Rhode Island
Answer/Response:"The "brown-patch" of which you write is probably not the diseased condition for which calomel is recommended. Calomel is used to control fungous diseases on grass, but is altogether ineffective against brown-patched areas which are caused by excessive amounts or careless applications of other chemicals. Since the yellowing appeared soon after an application of ammonium sulfate, we assume that the injury you speak of is simply a burn due to uneven or excessive applications of this fertilizer. There is nothing to do in such cases except to keep the turf thoroughly watered and, as a rule, this will soon make it recover."
