| Abstract/Contents: | "Two composts were evaluated for suppression of Fusarium Patch (Microdochium nivale) and Typhula Blight (Typhula ishikariensis) snow molds in field experiments, conducted in 1998-1999 in two distinct areas of turf management. One plot was on a creeping bentgrass green (mowing height 4mm) and the second plot was a creeping bentgrass range (mowing height 25mm). Fall applications of compost applied at either 48.7 or 97.4kg/100m2 reduced snow mold severity to levels not significantly different (P < 0.05) from fungicide controls. In addition, a significant increase in green-up of turf (recovery from disease and/or winter dormancy) compared to fertilizer and fungicide controls (P < 0.05) was observed. The two composts showed no significant differences in their capacities to suppress disease. However, most plots that received a higher application rate of compost had significantly less disease for most ratings (P < 0.05) than those that received the lower application rate. At both turf management locations, there were significant increases in green-up in compost-treated plots (~ 85%) compared to the fungicide plots (~ 30%) and fertilizer treatments on a field range (P < 0.05). These differences in green-up among treatments diminished over a four-week-rating period, after which the controls approached or were not significantly different from the compost-treated plots (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between composts at either experimental location on any rating date (P < 0.05)." |
