We are a family- owned 36 hole golf course. In the 70's we became disease resistant to thiophanate-methyl. In 2005 we learned we were becoming resistant to the DMI class of fungicides. This leave us with little choice of fungicides. Dollar spot the last two years has been at unacceptable levels. With the resistance issues and the amount- of -use restrictions, it is becoming increasingly difficult to provide the golfers with a quality putting green. With the use restrictions, we need the PCNB products in the fall and spring so we don't exceed the useage restrictions of the other fungicides later in the summer.
