Dollar Spot Fungicide Resistance Assay

If your spray equipment is in good condition, fungicides are properly stored and applied, yet you are still suffering from unacceptable amounts of dollar spot control, you may have a fungicide resistance problem. The fungicide sensitivity assay is an extension service for golf course superintendents and other turf managers who experience difficulty controlling dollar spot.  The assay is conducted at the UMass Turf Pathology lab using all commonly used fungicide classes to test levels of fungicide resistance to each.  Results of the assay give clients a holistic understanding of their dollar spot populations along with effective cultural and fungicide control options, saving some thousands of dollars in misapplications of materials to dollar spot populations with fungicide resistance.
