Abstract/Contents:Discusses how to control diseases without inducing fungicide resistance. Promotes a holistic approach, with attention to plant health, fertility, spray volumes, nozzle type, fungicide selection, tank-mixing, fungicide rotation, and chemical alternation. Also discusses the role of luck in resistance management. Concludes that "to effectively control disease and delay fungal resistance, turf managers should take a holistic approach to disease control. Controlling disease while delaying fungal resistance involves much more than using chemicals alone. Maintaining plant health and improving the growing environment are essential aspects of managing putting green turf. Then, when chemicals are needed, they should be correctly applied. In the final analysis, which product to use and how to use it ultimately comes down to a decision that individual golf course superintendents must make."

Note:Correction: "The image appearing on page 26 in the May/June 2003 Green Section Record was captioned incorrectly. This image compares nozzle spray patterns using water-sensitive paper. More yellow color represents less coverage. Good coverage helps ensure better disease control. From the top: RA Raindrop, Flood Jet, Turbo Tee Jet, Twin Jet, and XR Tee Jet."
