In this 60-minute webinar, Lisa Beirn, Ph.D., and Matt Giese, discuss strategies for management including cultural practices and optimizing fungicide efficacy. They introduce three new fungicides that have been specifically engineered for managing these top two diseases in cool-season golf course turf.
