Abstract/Contents: | "The vast majority of turfgrass managers do not actually apply the rates of fungicides that they think they are applying. Nearly all make mistakes in mixing, loading, configuring equipment, and calibrating delivery devices. National losses due to these mistakes have been estimated to be in the billions of dollars. Additional losses have occurred because of reduced fungicide effectiveness resulting from improper measuring and calibration. This article reviews many of the important reasons and methods for careful measuring, mixing, and loading fungicides and in routinely calibrating and maintaining equipment. Additional problems such as proper timing and placement of fungicide application are also reviewed." |
