Abstract/Contents: | "Fungicides are the primary means of plant protection in turf. Increased awareness by turfgrass researchers and managers of environmental hazards and fungicide costs has resulted in development of disease forecast models. Forecasting disease development will result in more efficient fungicide application strategies. A prediction model for anthracnose (Colletotrichum graminicola), based on the environmental parameters of average daily temperature and hours of continuous leaf wetness, accurately forecasted anthracnose development with 88% accuracy. Other models have been proposed for dollar spot (Sclerotinia homoeocarpa) and Pythium blight (Pythium spp.). These forecast models are complex, but the widespread addition of computers to the golf course business simplifies their use and allows on-site disease forecasting." |
