Abstract/Contents:Explores turfgrass disease diagnosis, focusing on "taking the right steps to diagnosing problems associated with pathogens and extrapolating the results of a turfgrass diagnosis summary." Discusses the difference between a turfgrass disease and a turfgrass infection. Lists potential steps to take during a disease diagnosis. Includes steps on "preparing a sample for laboratory diagnosis." Advises not to send any additional pictures or information with the sample, emphasizing that you want a "definitive diagnosis of what is present...including this additional information biases the diagnosis and leads to guessing." Gives examples of superintendents facing the problem receiving of different test results. Concludes that "disease management is a challenging facet of turfgrass management. Planning and use of preemptive turfgrass sampling techniques for pathogen detection will help guide activities on the golf course and will assist in identifying the diseases of significance that need attention."
