The hot & humid days have arrived and so the related problems for the golf course where we have witnessed an outbreak of « Anthracnose » on various greens.
As there are virtually no means to fight this miniscule « funghi/mushroom » disease which affect the leaves of the grass, we have to wait till it has passed and then re-saw the affected patches on the greens.
At the same time we will try to limit the spreading of this disease by allowing the grass on the greens to grow slightly longer (to 3.5- 4 mm maximum) as this strengthens the (untouched) leaves and root channels. However, we will roll the greens more often to try to maintain the same speed of the greens.Will keep you informed when we have more news.
