PCNB is used at the Golf Club at Yankee Trace to control Pink and Gray Snow Mold. Financially this product gives us the control we must have without putting an undue burden on our budget. With alternative products multiple applications are needed and the product use rates are higher leading to significant increases in cost to the golf course, the city and ultimately the citizens of Centerville. From a control stand point, PCNB is the only product that we can confidently apply in late November and know for sure that we will get control until March. With the alternative products multiple applications are required and if there is a snow blanket on the ground this would be impossible. The other factor that enters into this is if the ground is clear the wind typically blows at speeds high enough during the winter months that an additional spray is almost impossible.
