HOW TO CONTROL SNOW MOULD

Snow mould (Fusarium) damage can be controlled by the use of SUPER SPECTRUM. Mix 1 sachet of product to a slurry with a small amount of water then dilute with 5 litres of water.  Agitate thoroughly before and during spraying.

Spray for control of red thread, mould, mildew, brown patch, smuts and other fungal diseases. Note: Fungal disease on lawns is exacerbated by stress caused by draught, poor drainage, low soil fertility, soil pH and excessively low cutting. So as well as treating with Spectrum add fertiliser such as NOURISH ALL PURPOSE ORGANIC FERTILISER, improve drainage if over wet, water if over dry, adjust soil pH to 6.5-7.0 and raise the cutting height of your lawn mower.

There are two types of snow mold. Grey snow mold (caused by Typhula incarnata and Typhula ishikariensis) and pink snow mold (sometimes referred to as Fusarium and cased by Microdochium nivale). Pink snow mold infects the crown of the plant and can cause more severe injury than gray snow mold which only infects the leaf tissue.
