Disease Pressure

Last week we received 0.7" of rain coupled with our typical summer heat of 94-100, is the perfect scenario for disease to pop up around the course.  We do spray the greens on a preventative basis and fortunately we just sprayed them with a fungicide the week before.  In the picture you can see why we spray preventatively for diseases throughout the summer.  As we spray the green we include the collar and turn the booms off at the edge.  Here you can see exactly where we shut off each boom and the yellow tan disease of dollar spot that popped up in the area that was not sprayed.

Something like this is actually good to see, because it tells us that we do need to keep with our fungicide applications, and the products that we are using are giving us very good control.
