## Resource

In this video, I break down the classic study “Optimizing Manganese Fertilization for the Suppression of Take-All Patch Disease on Creeping Bentgrass.” We examine whether manganese applications can suppress take-all patch, how application timing influences disease control, and why soil chemistry matters. The results showed that manganese fertilization significantly reduced take-all patch severity, especially when soil manganese availability was low. If you're interested in take-all patch management, manganese fertility, creeping bentgrass, and evidence-based turfgrass science, this is a must-watch discussion. #turfgrass #takeallpatch #manganese #soilscience #bentgrass #golfcoursemanagement #turfgrassscience 📌 https://www.gofundme.com/f/TurfgrassEpistemology Thank you for being part of this community and for supporting evidence-based turfgrass science.
