The Heritage course came through the winter better than ever!  

We had a very long winter with major snow-mold pressure.  On the Heritage course the greens are perfect, the approaches look fantastic and the tees look good.  It was a great winter to test a few different products and combinations on the golf course fairways and I learned a bit more this winter that will help us in the future.  Grerywalls also came through with flying colors considering the amount of time the turf spent under old man winters dormant spell.

Right side Propiconazole (0.75 oz./M) -Chlorothanonil mix (2.3oz/M) mixture

Right side Propiconazole (0.75 oz./M) -Chlorothanonil mix (2.3oz/M) mixture

Not only is the Tebuconazole cheaper than the Propiconazole but it also out performed it by a long shot!
I will be making the switch this fall.

#2 fairway Heritage treated with Tebuconazole (0.6oz/M)-Chlorothalonil (2.3oz/M) mixture

#3 fairway Heritage treated with Propiconazole (0.75 oz./M) -Chlorothanonil mix (2.3oz/M) mixture

#8 fairway Heritage treated with Tebuconazole (0.6oz/M)-Chlorothalonil (2.3oz/M) mixture

#4 fairway Heritage treated with Propiconazole (0.75 oz./M) -Chlorothanonil mix (2.3oz/M) mixture

I do not see a big difference between these two combinations on the Greywalls fairways, but that is not a surprise as the varieties of turf we are grow on the Greywalls fairways are more resistant to the snowmold fungal pathogens.

UW had a banner year to test different snowmold products on our 11th fairway of the Heritage course.  The snowmold count was near 100% within their check plots.  The UW full report should be out within a month and I look forward to reading about the results.
