Abstract/Contents:Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Verify the utility of using microclimate information for scheduling the use of fans, irrigation, and fungicides for disease management. 2. Develop the system, hardware, and software to monitor and analyze the microenvironment on golf courses. 3. Determine if fungicide applications can be reduced by using microclimate-based information for disease management." Reports that "brown patch was dramatically reduced in the areas with greatest wind velocity created by fans. Where the fans were left on for extended periods and irrigation was inadequate, dollar spot was more severe. Soil moisture, algae, leaf wetness, and canopy temperatures were all less in the area with the greatest wind velocity." Concludes that "the 'wind-modified' Fidanza model did a good job predicting the occurrence of brown patch." This three-year study began in 1998.

USGA Summary Points:Brown patch was dramatically reduced in the areas with greatest wind velocity created by fans. Where the fans were left on for extended periods and irrigation was inadequate, dollar spot was more severe. Soil moisture, algae, leaf wetness, and canopy temperatures were all less in the area with the greatest wind velocity. A regression equation was generated to define the relationship between wind velocity and brown patch incidence. The "wind-modified" Fidanza model did a good job predicting the occurrence of brown patch.
