Abstract/Contents: | "Chicago District Golf Association scientists continue to conduct research to evaluate new ways to reduce moss in putting greens without causing phytotoxic effects to bentgrass. Study treatments included baking soda, a herbicide (carfentrazone-ethyl; Quicksilver) and a fungicide (chlorothalonil; Daconil Ultrex). To date, the studys findings include: Multiple strategies can be used to suppress moss. No strategy was capable of eliminating moss. Moss strategies should be timed when moss is actively growing spring and fall, and may not be necessary midsummer. Baking soda spot applied twice in spring can effectively suppress moss all season. Chlorothalonil alone or in combination with other contact fungicides can suppress moss, but requires at least three sequential applications every 14 days. Spring and fall applications of Quicksilver at 6 oz/A (four total) can effectively suppress moss without adverse effects to bentgrass health." |
