| Question: | "On April 2 there suddenly appeared in one of our bent greens dead patches 6 to 18 inches in diameter which resembled the injury from brown-patch except that the patches were almost white, nearly round, and very clearly defined. This occurred after a period of almost uniform freezing weather at night lasting for a month. Your recommendations for treating this condition will be appreciated" |

| Answer/Response: | "The injury is probably due to snow-mold. Grass injured by this disease is bleached and the injury appears as white patches. Its name snow-mold, like the common names of many diseases, is somewhat confusing, leading to the impression that it is caused only by snow. The injury is caused by the action of a fungus which is most likely to grow when the temperature is low and there is abundant moisture; consequently it is most frequently associated with thawing snow. It, however, occurs many times when there is no snow, as during cold weather there is often sufficient moisture from frost, dew, or mist. If you have had a prolonged period of temperatures near the freezing point it is likely that the disease would find conditions favorable for its development. It would be well to treat your green with corrosive sublimate at the rate of 1 to 2 ounces to 1,000 square feet. The chemical may be dissolved in a barrel of water and applied by means of a sprinkling can or sprayer. Complete information on the nature and treatment of snow-mold is found in articles in the Bulletin for April, 1927, October, 1928, and August, 1929." |
