    It's cetainly not snow mold weather but work on PCNB continues. Dr. Stuart Cohen of Environmental & Turf Services is working hard on the issue. Your comments could help with the EPA's Risk/Benefit analysis.

    - How important was post application irrigation? Was increased efficacy (disease control) the reason or phytotoxicity (burn/discoloration)?
    - How important was mowing height? Did you see more snow mold at rough height than fairway height of cut?
    - Have you used PCNB at any time of the year other than late fall or winter?
    - Have you used PCNB for a disease other than the snow molds?

    Thanks in advance

    Kenneth,

    When I was in New Jersey we used to use Scotts FFII every year on April 15th and Oct. 15th at one course I was at.

    It was on Rye mix fairways (bent from plugs, rye interseeded every year and probably some Ky. Blue) We would use it for leaf spot. It worked great for that, I remember we were applying one spring and got rained out about 1/2 through one of our fairways and it was amazing how much cleaner the one side was.

    Also used it one year (just straight PCNB) on bent fairways in Indiana, mainly because it was a grow-in situation and those fairways were juiced to the hilt.

    When I was on the coast in the Pacific Northwest all year was snow mold season and we would use ffII on poa greens in July if we had to.
