Question:"November 25 our putting greens, which are a mixture of redtop, bluegrass, and Chewings fescue, were attacked by a disease resembling snowmold, although we hade not had any snow. Almost overnight they developed a mottled appearance, spots appearing 3 to 6 inches in diameter. The mycelium was bluish and rather heavy. There were as many as 30 or 40 such spots on some of the greens, the grass in these spots presenting a scorched and dried appearance. The weather at that time had been very foggy but there had been little or no rain. We immediately had the greens sprayed with a solution of calomel at the rate of 3 ounces to 1,000 square feet. The mold thereupon seemed to lighten and gradually disappear. Is there any furthur treatment we should give the greens?"
Source of Question:New York
Answer/Response:"From your description it appears that your greens were attacked with snowmold. Snow is not necessary for the development of this disease. We have had reports from various sections of the country of many snowmold attacks as early in the season as yours. The treatment you have given should hold the disease in check for the remainder of the season. You will find furthur information on snowmold in the August, 1932, Bulletin."
