. Agri-news. Agriculture. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE LATE FALL SNOW MOULD CONTROL. Snow mold on Kentucky bhtegrass. Just before the first permanent snow arrives is the time that homeowners who have had severe snow mould damage on their lawns in the past, and who want to use a fungi- cide should apply it, says Alberta Agriculture's sod and home garden specialist, Lorraine Taylor. Although the fungi that cause this disease do their damage to lawns and other turfed areas during the fall and winter, the damage actually manifests itself in the early spring when the snow is melting. At this time a lawn that is diseased will have patches or may even become covered with a cottony growth. And in severe cases patches of grass will have been killed. Unless the grass has been severely damaged, the recommended procedure is to rake or brush the matted material off the lawn as soon as it becomes visible in the spring. The fungi that cause snow mould are low-temperature fungi, and there are at least four types in Alberta. The damage they do to golf courses and on sod farms can be very severe indeed. - (cont'd) - i Aba\a AGRICULTURE 'hone: (403) 427-2121 Print Media Branch.
