| Question: | "Have any experiments been conducted with the use of steam-sterilized or baked compost in the control of brown-patch? A report has reached us from one golf club that during the past season they had topdressed their greens with only sterilized compost and had practically no brown-patch on the course." |

| Answer/Response: | "So far as we know, no experiments of this kind have been conducted. The organism causing the brown-patch disease is so widespread that it seems unlikely that the use of sterilized compost could safegaurd a green from the disease. There is always a likelihood of turf becoming infected with brown-patch from spores of the organism carried by the wind, no matter what previous treatment may have been given to the turf. The fact that the club you mention had no brown-patch on its course during the season is not conclusive evidence that the immunity resulted from the use of sterilized compost. In almost any district it may be found that while one golf course has suffered from brown-patch, its neighboring course has remained uninjured, and that the conditions on both courses were apparently identical. Sterilizing compost with steam of by baking has various merits apart from brown-patch, chief of which is the killing of weed seeds." |
