Abstract/Contents:Of 254 surveys sent to golf courses inquiring of the frequency and treatment of diseases, 35 were sent back and evaluated. Snow mold proved to be the most common and most widely spread disease surveyed. "About 50 percent of the golf courses showed moreover fusarium diseases, the red tip disease, witches rings and rusts." Judging by the survey, increased amounts of nitrate fertilizing renders the grasses more succeptible to snow mold and fusarium, yet most of the diseases most often found were less pronounced on courses where there were higher levels of sand in the top turf layer. Golf courses that employed fungicides for both prophylactic as well as curative control showed less damage rendered to their turf than those courses that merely use fungicides for curative measures alone. However, courses employing both methods of control had a higher number of diseases than those only using the one method. It is noted that the diagnosis of the diseases on the surveyed courses, and their rating of severity are based purely on the judgement of the greenkeeper; no stastical certainties are guaranteed in this survey.
