1. With an initial application in late September, turf was still growing sufficiently to recover from the first onset of Microdochium Patch infection, creating a clean surface going into the winter
2. Following a second application in October the green turf surface was kept free of disease through mild autumn conditions, as soil temperatures fluctuated and slowly declined
3. Medallion TL maintained exceptional levels of disease control right through to the end of December, with over 90 days effective protection of the playing surface, when Iprodione treated areas were badly affected by disease in mid-November
