2008 - 2009 RESEARCH RESULTS
The final research reports for the 2008-2009 winter season are now posted and can be viewed on our website(www.plantpath.wisc.edu/tdl). You can access the pdf file in two places, either in the news box on the right hand side of the homepage or by clicking on the "Research" link directly underneath the pictures on the home page. The reports will be posted in the news box for at least the next several weeks, but will always be available on the research page.
This year had two great trials that showed clear separation amongst ineffective treatments, fair treatments , and excellent treatments. The Sentryworld GC report shows what products performed well under high disease pressure, while the Wawonowin CC report shows what products performed well under extreme disease pressures. A map of the site at Wawonowin will be posted soon for those who wish to view the trial on their own. Please call Glen Rochester at 906-485-5236 before coming to make sure it is alright. The take-home message from these reports is that there is more than one product or treatment that provides excellent snow mold protection. Use these reports to help you decide the best option for your course and your budget.
We are currently working to get ALL fungicide trials (both summer and winter) we have on digital file posted on the website, and we will let you know when that occurs.
Thanks to those of you who attended our field day at Sentryworld GC on the 22nd, and a special thanks to Gary Tanko, Glen Rochester, Zach Todd, Mike Powers, and Tom Noch for hosting this year's trials.
Call or email with any questions, concerns, or comments you may have. - Paul
