Abstract/Contents:Describes how the climate of the Pacific Northwest of the United States is similar to the climate of England. Discusses the costs of turfgrasses and the amount of money invested in the installation and maintenance of turf, stating that "anything, such as disease, that adversely affects an investment of this magnitude becomes important." Describes the turf disease incidence rates in Eastern and Western Washington State. Briefly profiles the pathogens of and reviews findings of the Sports Turf Research Institute for proper care of fairy ring, fusarium patch, red thread, and ophiobolus patch. Concludes that "we are now convinced that a year-round preventative spraying programme is necessary in order to grow relatively disease-free turf" and "it is probably unreasonable to expect a single treatment or schedule to work equally well under all conditions with something as variable as turf can be."
