Abstract/Contents:Discusses turf diseases, explaining that "many of the plant disease germs are so specific in their perference [preference] that they will attack only one variety of a species of plant." Profiles fungi, stating that "although fungi are plants, they have no chlorophyll and cannot take their own food and must get food from outside sources. When this source is another plant, such as grass, then a disease is the result." Mentions melting-out fungus, stating that "acti-dione has been found to be effective. This material checks the disease and regular all season sprays will give protection against melting-out and will control dollar spot and brown patch as well." Concludes that "preventative spraying is the best way to control turf grass disease and is essential to the maintenance of fine turf in most areas of the United States."
