Objectives

The purpose of these trials was to evaluate new fungicides currently under development with standard, registered materials for control of Rhizoctonia blights (brown patch) or Pythium blight in tall fescue. Various combinations of fungicides were also evaluated to determine effectiveness, length of control, etc. The trials were set up as different studies, depending on the materials being evaluated and the specific objectives of each study.

Study 1 . Evaluation of Daconil and Subdue, Aliette for control of Pythium and Rhizoctonia in tall fescue.

Study 2. Evaluation of Aliette, Fore and experimental combinations of fungicides for control of Rhizoctonia blight in tall fescue.

Study 3. Evaluation of Heritage fungicide treatments for control of Pythium blight in tall fescue.
