Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to answer two questions: "Does phosphite suppress Microdochium nivale in turfgrasses? And by what means does this occur?" Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "trial plots composed of three turfgrass species were established in 2010, to which treatments were applied and the effect on disease incidence and turfgrass quality assessed." Reports that "results have shown applications of potassium phosphite reduces disease by 50% compared to untreated controls." Concludes that "routine and sequential applications of phosphite, as part of an integrated disease management program, will significantly reduce the incidence and severity of the disease and also gives rise to significantly improved turfgrass quality than untreated controls." |
