Abstract/Contents:Discusses summer patch disease in the Northeast United States, explaining that "once established, this disease can destroy the roots and crowns of affected plants, thus reducing the overall appearance and playability of greens and fairways." States that "the earliest and most reliable diagnostic feature of summer patch is the vascular discoloration of the roots and crowns of affected plants." Suggests that "perhaps the strongest factors influencing this disease are temperature and moisture." States that "because summer patch is a root disease, cultural practices that encourage good rooting will aid in reducing disease severity." Explains that "most contact fungicides will not adequately protect the roots; thus, systemic fungicides are the only viable option available to superintendents for controlling this disease." Suggests that "the most effective means of distributing fungicides into the root zone is through the application of large amounts of water." Concludes that "a combination of preventive fungicide applications and cultural practices that encourage good root growth is probably the best approach to controlling summer patch."
