| Answer/Response: | "In regions where this disease is serious it is well to treat greens with at least 3 ounces of corrosive sublimate to each 1,000 square feet of turf. Powdered calomel can be used for the same purpose. This treatment should be made as late in the fall as it is possible to work on the greens. This will avoid washing of the chemical from the soil by late fall or early winter rains. The chemical can be applied safely at this rate, or even in much larger quantities, at that time of the year. It may be applied in liquid form or mixed thoroughly with a light application of compost. In some of the tests last year it was found that treatments in late winter or early spring checked the damage to some extent. The control was, however, by no means as effective as was the fall application. Since it is difficult to use spraying equipment on greens when snow is melting it is wise to store some dry compost or sand with which to mix powdered corrosive sublimate if it should prove necessary to give a further treatment in late winter. A mixture with sand or compost can be easily and safely applied whenever the snow-mold is found to be active. The nature and control of the disease is discussed in detail in the October, 1928, number of the Bulletin." |
