Snow Mold Prevention

 
This morning we made our 1st of 2 fungicide applications to greens and tees.  Snow Mold is a fungal pathogen that can become an issue, usually in February and March.  Wet conditions really promote the disease.  Fungicides are relatively economical, so making 2 applications is justified in order to have the piece of mind of being protected.  Tees were also treated earlier this week.  We use a Bayer fungicide called, Tartan.
