Microdochium patch (Microdochium nivale) remains the main threat to turf quality in the UK – resulting in widespread loss of surface quality.
Outbreaks can occur at any time, but are most common, and typically more severe, during the autumn and winter, whenever the weather is relatively mild and moist, particularly where leaves remain wet for a prolonged period of time.
Syngenta Turf Advisor gives an early warning of local conditions where infection may have occurred, or likely to hit over coming days – in time to support your decisions and take preventative action.
