| Abstract/Contents: | "The 130 professional football clubs in the UK were sent a postal questionnaire, which sought information on the following: [i] the incidence, severity, distribution, time of year and control measures for the major diseases (including red thread, fusarium patch, rust and seedling diseases), pests and weeds affecting both the competition pitch and the training ground; [ii] pesticide use and legislation; [iii] general problems including drainage, wear, fertiliser nutrition and other maintenance factors. Following the return of the postal questionnaire, an additional questionnaire was completed by telephone, visit or post. This concerned general maintenance and cultural factors, including: underground heating, usage, construction, drainage, soil type, grasses used and mowing, fertiliser, spiking and irrigation regimes. The results showed that fusarium patch (Microdochium nivale) and red thread (Laetisaria fuciformis) were the most abundant diseases on the competition pitch and the training ground; earthworms (Lumbricus and other spp.) and leatherjackets (Tipula paludosa) were the most common pests, whilst white clover (Trifolium repens), plantain (Plantago major) and annual meadow-grass (Poa annua) were the most prolific weeds." |
