Representing the Golf Alliance of Oregon (GAO), Barb Trammell, CEO of the Oregon Golf Association unveiled the results of an economic impact study at Stone Creek Golf Club in Oregon City in mid-October 2010. The research study was conducted on behalf of the Golf Alliance of Oregon, a consortium of the major trade and consumer golf associations.
Overview of the presentation by Brian MacDonald
The purpose of this trial was to evaluate the effectiveness of repeated applications of various formulations of chlorothalanil at two rates, Tourney 50, and two fungicide rotations in controlling dollar spot (Sclerotinia homoeocarpa) on a colonial bentgrass (‘Bardot’)/annual bluegrass fairway.
Ten years of research into microdochium patch disease.
The purpose of this trial was to evaluate the effectiveness of various fungicides in controlling Microdochium patch on a bluegrass green.
The purpose of this trial was to evaluate the effectiveness of various fungicides and fungicide rotations in controlling anthracnose (Colletotrichum cereale) and maintaining plot quality on an annual bluegrass (Poa annua) putting green.
The purpose of this trial was to evaluate the effectiveness of various fungicides and fungicide rotations in controlling anthracnose (Colletotrichum cereale) and maintaining plot quality on an annual bluegrass (Poa annua) putting green.
Practical strategies for the renovation of turfgrass, used to improve existing turf or change grass species for improved performance. The basic strategies discussed include simple overseeding, overseeding following suppression of existing turf, and complete renovation.
Examples in the PNW on Microdochium Patch: Clearys 3336, Chipco 26GT, and Heritage.
The photos on this page, taken at Lewis-Brown Horticulture Farm in Corvallis, Oregon, show the 
symptoms of Winter Brown Blight (Drechslera siccans) on perennial ryegrass. Winter Brown Blight is a member of the genera Drechslera and includes Net Blotch (Drechslera dictyoides) and Melting Out (Drechslera poae). This disease used to be classified as Helminthosporium.
The purpose of this trial was to evaluate the effectiveness of various fungicides and fungicide rotations in controlling anthracnose (Colletotrichum cereale) on an annual bluegrass putting green.
Tom Cook, retired OSU turfgrass professor, has published a new book detailing the construction and maintenance of sustainable landscapes! The book includes topics such as sustainable landscape design, how to develop an ecosystem, issues regarding the use of chemicals, and approaches for modifying existing lancescapes. The book can be purchased from Amazon: Sustainable Landscape Management: Design, Construction, and Maintainence!

Maintaining a healthy, aesthetically pleasing lawn depends on many variables including turfgrass species; mowing height and frequency; fertilization; and insect, disease, and weed control. Proper irrigation, despite being one of the most important factors in maintaining a healthy lawn, is the most often overlooked variable in lawn care (figure 1).

The purpose of this trial was to evaluate a single preventative application of various fungicides for the control of gray snow mold on a golf course fairway.
The trial was initiated on October 23rd (after the last mowing) on the 11th fairway of the Meadows Golf Course (4,160 feet elevation) located in the Sun River Resort in Sun River, Oregon, 15 miles south of Bend.
The purpose of this trial was to evaluate the effectiveness of various fungicides in controlling Microdochium patch (Microdochium nivale) on an annual bluegrass putting green.
The purpose of this trial was to evaluate the effectiveness of various fungicides and kelp in controlling anthracnose (Colletotrichum cereale) on annual bluegrass putting greens.
We are looking for a site to do a fairy ring control trial in 2011.
If you are having consistent problems with fairy ring and are willing to allow plots to be set up and different fungicide treatments applied, please call Brian McDonald at 541 231-1149. The ideal site would be about 2,000 square feet with uniform fairy ring symptoms throughout. The area could be a golf course fairway, rou

Describes necrotic ring spot disease and methods of prevention and control.
Explains how to optimize a fertilization program for a home lawn. Discusses how to select and use fertilizers, the roles of various elements (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, pH, calcium, magnesium, and iron) in lawn fertilization, and the value of soil tests for each element. Provides sample calendars of necessary and optimal times for fertilizer applications for western, central, and eastern Oregon.
Preliminary Report

Purpose
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate one and two applications of various herbicides for the control of English Daisy (Bellis perennis) growing in lawns.
Materials & Methods
This is an unusual insect in that it causes most of its damage in late winter and early spring as larvae feeding on all parts of the plant. While we think of it as a turfgrass pest it is also active on many ornamental perennials. The historical pattern for this insect is to move quietly into an area where it may develop to very high populations within a year or two.

Revised Feb. 2008
In nature, annual bluegrass, Poa annua L. behaves as a true annual. It germinates in fall or spring when moisture is adequate and develops quickly, often flowering six to eight weeks after germination. In the Pacific Northwest we see it most commonly as a winter annual (Fig 1). After flowering and setting seed these annual types die typically from drought and leave dormant viable seed behind to germinate when moisture again becomes available. This efficiency in seed production makes annual bluegrass a major component of the seed bank of cultivated soils.
Final Report - February 7, 2008
Introduction
The purpose of this trial was to evaluate different timing intervals of fungicide applications necessary to control anthracnose (Colletotrichum cereale) on annual bluegrass fairways. Three products were evaluated combined with and without Daconil Ultrex: Cleary’s 3336, Cleary’s 3336 Plus, and Banner Maxx.
