The discussion will center around an overview of new fungicides, their chemistry, effectiveness and potential use for turfgrass disease control. Although there are new chemicals that are triazole, sterol-inhibiting fungicides (e.g. Trinity, Tourney) their properties and effectiveness for different diseases differs. There is a relatively new QOi fungicide, DisArm, that is marketed recently, as well as several new Pythium fungicides or fungicide combinations. An overview of their chemistry, properties and effectiveness (there is much we don't know yet) will be presented for discussion. We will also discuss how these new fungicides may be incorporated into disease control programs, if appropriate.
