We're developing the next generation of Microdochium Patch Model for Turf Advisor. This advanced model will support your fungicide applications and management practices when dealing with challenging microdochium (fusarium patch).
To create a model that robustly reflects real life situations we need to validate the data against your experiences and actions this season. The more people who get involved and spend just a few minutes to routinely submit their information each week, the more accurate the model will be to benefit the whole industry in the future.

Why It Matters?
- The current Turf Advisor disease warning models are good, well used and have been highly effective, but we recognise the importance of continuous improvement and to make it better
- Our goal is to provide you with the best tools for the future of turf management
How You Can Help
We need data from real-life situations to validate our model. Here's what we're looking for:
- Golf course managers to submit data every 7 days (whether they have seen disease pressure or not)
- Data collection throughout the microdochium season
What's Involved
- Simple data entry form that takes just a few minutes to complete
- Regular commitment - every 7 days
- Input whether you've seen disease pressure or not
Why Your Help is Crucial
Your consistent input will ensure our model is:
- Fit for purpose
- Applicable to real-life situations
- Truly beneficial for golf course managers
