Abstract/Contents: | CONCLUSION: "Control of Pythium-induced root dysfunction is not promising with present technology. Contact and systemic fungicides specific for Pythium species are not effective for control of root dysfunction. The primary problem is that there is no effective means of getting the fungicides in the root zone and there also is some question as to their effectiveness in the root zone. At present, intense aerification with application of the fungicides into the aerifier holes may slow the disease, but this procedure will not stop the disease. Wetting agents in conjunction with the fungicides have sometimes proven useful. Unfortunately, our experience to date, indicates that most efforts to control the disease chemically are futile and on most diseased greens the turf must be reestablished after the stressful period of the growing season." |
