Abstract/Contents:Discusses fungicide sales between 2003 and 2005. States that "a competitive golf market and golfers demanding perfect conditions" are factors that can increase sales. Explains that "everybody is trying to produce more in the way of playing conditions, and the effect of that - lower mowing heights, more frequent topdressing, rolling - creates more disease pressure for the turf." Suggests that "increases in fungicide use also could be attributed to diseases that have become more difficult to control." Concludes that "market growth [may be attributed] to several factors, including an increasing number of golf courses, the demand for better conditions, irrigation systems that deliver more water to more areas and thus contribute to disease pressure, and more fungicide options."
