Abstract/Contents:States that "snow mold diseases are among the most serious problems of cool-season turf in northern locations of the United States and throughout Canada." Explains that "because of the potential for widespread turfgrass damage and prolonged recovery in the spring, turf managers most commonly attempt to control snow mold diseases with preventative applications of fungicides in mid to late fall." Lists recommendations for cultural control of these diseases. Discusses current research "to evaluate the efficacy of many newer fungicide products and combinations, as well as biological control products, compared to conventional control materials." Profiles PCNB, "an industry standard for snow mold control throughout much of North America." Discusses research "working with different fungal and bacterial organisms to offer a possible non-chemical control option for snow molds." Explains that "the development of effective biological snow mold controls will be a real benefit to golf courses where snow mold disease pressure is significant, environmental sensitivity is high, pesticide use is contentious, and/or pesticide use is restricted." Concludes that "recent snow mold research trials have indicated that a wide variety of fungicides and combinations, both old and new, can provide excellent control of snow mold diseases, depending upon the severity of snow mold pressure...Incorporating biological control into the overall disease control program will likely provide the best results while reducing our dependence on fungicides."
