GOT FUSARIUM? It would probably be an understatement to say that the fusarium activity levels are high these days. The above picture illustrates one of the more extreme attacks currently on my course. Last week while scouting for disease I made an interesting observation that I thought I would share. Typical tee disease levels, no pesticides of any kind ever, oh yeah, hasn't seen direct sun since Sept! As I only apply fungicides to my putting green surfaces there are varying levels of fusarium activity throughout the course but the areas that are hit the hardest are the approaches about 3m from the front of each green. In these areas the fusarium activity is extremely high. In Past years I would also see these disease levels on the tees and most fairways but this year there is very little fusarium so far. 8th approach, full sun So why are my approaches being hit so hard while nothing else is being touched? The maintenance on my approaches is virtually identical to my fairways and
