| Abstract/Contents: | In an effort to determine the most effective fungicide against snow mold as well as the most beneficial carrier for the fungicide, an experiment station was set up at the TORO Research and Development Center in the fall of 1953. One rate of each chemical was used, PMAS at 3 ounces of 10% material per 1,000 square feet and CALO CLOR at three ounces per 1,000 square feet. Processed sewage sludge (Milorganite) at rates of 50 and 100 pounds per thousand square feet, topdressing at a volume equal to 100 pounds of Milorganite, a mixture of topdressing and Milorganite at 50 and 100 pounds and water as a spray were used as carriers. In addition, several plots received soluble nitrogen from an inorganic carrier. All applications occurred in late November and were repeated three times. The Calo Clor proved to be an effective preventer of snow mold regardless of the carrier or the prevailing weather conditions. PMAS proved effective in milder conditions, but in heavy snow and prolonged snow pack it proved completely ineffective. Both Milorganite and topdressing produced an earlier greening than spraying, although Milorganite was superior to the topdressing. Neither carrier alone, without the fungicide mixed in proved any resistance to snow molds. Lastly, the soluble nitrogen practically killed the turf to which it was applied. The authors stress the importance of uniformity of fungicide application. |
