Management of Summer Decline with Aliette combinations

Summary: In a replicated field trial at La Jolla Country Club, La Jolla, CA , bi-weekly applications of Aliette Signature combined with either Chipco 26 GT, Chipco Triton or Daconil Ultrex resulted in 100% control of dollar spot (Sclerotinia homeocarpa), with no significant differences observed among the different combinations. As was found in a similar study conducted in 1997, the presence of fairly high dollar spot pressure throughout the trial allowed the evaluation of the role of the treatments tested in reducing the disease component of summer stress complex. However, it was not possible to evaluate efficacy on the other, less tangible factors that can contribute to this phenomenon.
