Ask The Experts

I just bought 1 pound of Drive 75DF. Can you confirm that a level tablespoon equals 0.367 ounces? Also, for spot spraying, the label recommends 2 tablespoons (1 oz) of MSO per gallon of water. However, 0.55 oz of MSO is specified elsewhere.

Which is correct?

Thanks!

Curalan® EG fungicide Success Snapshot


Big Spring Country Club- Louisville, Ky.

Host of the 1952 PGA Championship, Big Spring was founded in 1926 and plays 17,000 rounds annually.

Roughs at the club were comprised of native grasses until a renovation in 2003. Since then, golf course superintendent Bob Rogers and his crew have been in the process of converting the roughs in the primary areas of play to fescue and bluegrass to provide more consistent play for members. Prone to brown patch, the turf is treated with preventive applications of Curalan® EG fungicide from late spring through the fall.

“We use Curalan to the full label rates of 14 to 28 days of control and have been fairly successful in pushing a month out of the applications,” said Rogers. “Curalan has played a good role in our rotation for treating an array of fungus, including brown patch.”
