We have an experiment that is evaluating the persistence of two commonly used snow mold fungicides, iprodione and chlorothalonil. Basically we applied the fungicides to plots thatwe keep free of snow cover and ones that are kept under snow cover for the duration of the experiment. We take two cup cutter samples from each plot. One is used to determine the concentration of the fungicides using commercially available ELISA kits for iprodione and chlorothalonil developed by Horiba LTD. The other core is</p><p><a href="http://www.turfdiseases.org/midatlantic/degradation-of-fungicides-in-a-winter-environment/">Degradation of Fungicides in A Winter Environment</a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/2fCEaa_Oaje4ONjZYsUHebNfiec/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/2fCEaa_Oaje4ONjZYsUHebNfiec/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/2fCEaa_Oaje4ONjZYsUHebNfiec/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/2fCEaa_Oaje4ONjZYsUHebNfiec/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/turfdiseases/vJic/~4/ra_z-rLCgNs" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.turfdiseases.org/midatlantic/degradation-of-fungicides-in-a-winter-environment/feed/ 1 http://www.turfdiseases.org/midatlantic/degradation-of-fungicides-in-a-winter-environment/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/turfdiseases/vJic/~3/T6INx2e7F00/ http://www.turfdiseases.org/international/dollar-spot-and-mini-ring-at-thailand/#comments Fri, 06 Jan 2012 23:32:37 +0000 Micah Woods http://www.turfdiseases.org/?p=2489 <p>I saw some interesting disease symptoms side-by-side on seashore paspalum and bermudagrass at a golf course near Bangkok this week.
