beneficial bacteria to produce ideal recovery and root strength.
fertilisers have strong benefits for turf in autumn. Potassium Phosphite (not phosphate) stimulates meristem activity, so enhancing both root and shoot development. Phosphite fertilisers are rapidly absorbed and transported through the
fungicides now and be prepared. To avoid resistance building in the pathogens, use a rotation of active ingredients with different modes of action to break this cycle. If 10% of a fungal population survives your attack and prospers to multiply, resistance will be far worse in the future and your problems even greater. Rotating your actives will almost eliminate this.
turf to areas of need where they aid the turf’s regeneration and disease resistance. Typically apply at around 50ml per 100m2
litres of water. Potassium silicate (the
in 10
forgotten element) fertilisers have a hardening effect on turf, producing erect growth and aiding air penetration, so can physically reduce disease incidence and enhance playing surface quality. Application rate is similar to the phosphite. Iron fertilisers are in common
fungicides are entering the market. These are based on selected, effective strains of fungi and bacteria with three modes of deterrence to the pathogens. Bacteria, such as Bacillus

use for hardening and darkening turf, so are useful later in autumn. Iron sulphate is also useful in lowering pH, but progressive applications may be needed. Sulphur, as elemental sulphur used as mini-prills that are easy to spread, provides an essential major nutrient and also slowly helps in pH reduction, making the soil less attractive to worms and coarser grasses. As temperatures fall through the autumn and dampness rises, fungal problems increase and grass growth slows, so resistance to disease and recovery from attack is slower. Good
management practice will reduce the incidence and severity of disease attack, but the inevitable will happen. Review your armoury of
subtilis, colonise the roots and benefit from carbohydrate excretions from the roots. The bacteria produce exudates with anti-fungal properties, thereby preventing pathogens attacking the roots that are surrounded by a sheath of beneficial bacteria. Fungi such as Trichoderma virens (Trichoderma harzianum) colonise the substrate, thereby physically inhibiting pathogen spread and digest the pathogens. Some strains of Trichoderma

also effect auxins (plant hormones) in roots, promoting more lateral growth. Watch out for these and other bio-fungicides and bio-pesticides and predators for rootzone pests, thereby widening your range of control products and reducing your dependence on toxic chemicals. Combine them with beneficial organics and good management to produce a quality playing surface, with less reliance on conventional nutrients and pesticides, and lower environmental impact.
