| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the emergence of biological control in the turfgrass disease management field during the early 1990s. States that "among the technologies most attractive for reducing chemical fungicide usage are biological controls using microbial based fungicides." Describes the mechanisms and effects of several means of biological control. Emphasizes the potential importance of sufficient organic matter to the maintenance of a microbiological balance in turfgrass soil. Suggests that "identification of the specific organisms in composts with biological control activity will be a key factor in understanding how composts suppress diseases." |

| Note: | Correction note, "The chart 'Biological suppression of dollar spot, brown patch and red thread with compost-amended topdressings', which appeared on p. 4 of CUTT issue number one contained an incorrect figure. The control untreated 1 figure of 9.8 dollar spots/plot should read 19.8 dollar spots/plot."
