With the start of a new decade, there are a number of new fungicides from which golf course superintendents will be able to choose. In this 60-minute webinar, presented by PBI-Gordon, Jim Kerns, Ph.D., reviews the basics of what a fungicide is and how they work. Although there are some phenomenal new fungicides, they do have their limitations. Understanding how fungicides work will help golf course superintendents make educated decisions on how to best use these new products. The final section of the webinar focuses on these new fungicides and the diseases they manage and include best management practices such as watering in, water volume, and preventative vs. curative applications.
