Turf diseases can soon cause untold damage to a golf course and, ultimately, destroy the reputation of a golf business in very quick time.

- Fusarium Patch
- Anthracnose
- Dollar Spot
- Take-All Patch

It also looks at the preventative measures that can minimise the threat of disease, as well as the fungicide control of disease should/when it breaks out on your golf course.
