Biological Control of Red Thread on Perennial Ryegrass


TurfDis13Eric B. Nelson and Cheryl Craft , Department of Plant Pathology , Cornell University, Ithaca NY, 1990

Of all the treatments evaluated, only Sustane (5-2-4) (poultry litter compost) was effective in suppressing red thread. A high level of suppression was observed at least 27 days after application. Diameter of infection centers was also reduced as compared with untreated plots and other compost treatments.

Necrotic Ring Spot Fungicide Studies


TurfDis12Hancock Research Center, East Lansing, MI, 1994

All fungicide and fertilizer treatments gave statistically significant reductions in disease, compared to the fertilized control. In this study, once again, the 1.b. N/1000 ft2 plots of Sustane, IBDU and Ringer Turf Restore exhibited superior density and overall turf quality.
