| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses a study that was done in order to help figure out which products to recommend to golf course superintendents." States that "in the first year of study [2007], [United States Golf Course Assosication (USGA) Staff] learned that the development of dollar spot disease was not greatly influenced by the products being tested...therefore in 2008 [they] changed [their] direction and controlled plant disease completley." States that "two aboveground plant health indicators were used, visual quality and an electronic method know as NDVI (normalized difference index)." Notes that the "aim was to test three commonly used foliar products thought to enhance green health." Informs that "both sites used preventative fungicides every two weeks at label rates to control dollar spot." States that "surprisingly, using the NDVI comparisons, no other treatment in the study fared better than the untreated control." Reports that "the study provided strong evidence that there are ways to save money without sacrificing plant health." |
