Abstract/Contents:Reviews the 2011 release of a "group of fungicides to the turf market and how they are best used for maximum effect." Overviews the characteristics of the fungus strobilurin fungicides, indicating that "this organism produces...natural fungicides to restrict other species of fungi that are competing for its main food source." Explains the mode of action of the fungi, stating that "they all have a 'single site' modes of action, targeting energy conversion in the cell- a process...[known] as 'mitochondrial respiration." Adds that the fungicides are "very effective at killing germinating spores, which makes them ideal for use as preventative treatments." Warns against the preventative factors of fungicide against the ability for resistant strains to grow, suggesting that "many scientists believe the theory of evolution dictates that fungi will develop a way around any chemical agent in time." Provides possible guidelines to follow in order to extend the usefulness of the fungicides, adding that "they should be treated as preventative fungicides and applied before or at the earliest moment after the onset of visible symptoms."
