Abstract/Contents:"The influence of high quality, reproducible composts on turfgrass health is being investigated. In this study, five compost mixtures (All Treat Farms, Ltd., Arthur, ON) were evaluated for suppression of dollar spot (Sclerotinia homoeocarpa) of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris). Field plots inoculated with S. homoeocarpa were topdressed with compost in single or multiple (every 3 weeks) applications from July to October 1998, and disease severity was rated weekly. In most assessments, multiple applications of compost significantly (P=0.05) suppressed dollar spot severity in comparison to untreated controls or the single application treatments, and were not significantly different from disease severity in plots treated with a fungicide standard (chlorothalonil). There were no significant differences among the five compost mixtures in their ability to control dollar spot. The results indicate that applications of quality composts every three weeks can suppress dollar spot in creeping bentgrass at levels comparable to a fungicide and contribute to reduced fungicide use."
