Survey Background
Sampling Instructions
Start the Survey

    SDS Field Research Survey
The questions listed below will help researchers evaluate factors that may lead to the establishment of spring dead spot in bermudagrass.

Select an answer from the drop down menu that best represents your current situation / management practice.

Once your answers have been recorded you will receive a reminder message this fall to record your spring dead spot treatment program (fungicide selected, rate, dates, etc).

In the Spring of 2006 you will be reminded to return to the web site and record the number of patches from the same area sampled in 2005.

Information collected will be used to determine efficacy of fertility, management and chemical options in the control of spring dead spot.
