Autumn disease management on golf courses is a critical endeavor to maintain the health and aesthetics of the turf. Among the notable concerns is the Microdochium patch disease. This pathogen thrives in moist and mild conditions, making autumn a prime period for its development.
Effective management involves a multifaceted approach. Cultural practices like regular mowing, aeration, and controlling leaf moisture play a pivotal role in prevention. Balanced fertilisation sustains turf health without promoting disease growth. Chemical treatments, such as targeted fungicides, can be employed, with careful timing based on disease forecasts.
Strategic planning and integrated pest management (ITM) are key components.
Autumn disease management not only ensures the course’s playability but also upholds its visual appeal, reinforcing the commitment to providing golfers with a top-tier experience even in challenging seasons.
