Disease control from Living Turf

While cultural management can help turf resist disease onset, inevitably fungicide products are required to protect high value surfaces from economic damage. Effective disease control requires proper identification along with a detailed understanding of product alternatives, application techniques and resistance management.

Planning for disease prevention and control

Living Turf endorses a strategic approach to disease management. Pre season planning of fungicide treatments saves the best control measures for the period of highest disease pressure. Second-string products should be used pre and post season. A sensible rotation will minimise cost and the development of resistance.

Such a program provides a game plan only, while cultural management will always aim to minimise the use of fungicide products.

Did you know ...
DMI fungicide products are growth regulators and will cause a temporary cessation of growth and development in turfgrass. SHORTstop TGR (Turf Growth Regulator) is widely used for wintergrass control in bentgrass greens, requires that no DMI group fungicides are applied 10 days before or after application. Otherwise a cumulative regulation of growth occurs and a putting surface can be temporarily damaged.
