Abstract/Contents:Reports "that high levels of algae activity can directly cause thinning of putting green turf, possibly by production of toxins or competition for air, water, and nutrients." Explains that algae can develop "in the turf canopy or on the surface of the thatch," and that it "repels water and impedes turf recovery" during dry weather. Suggests that "an aggressive algae management program can greatly increase the density and overall quality of putting greens during periods of warm and humid weather."
