New Zealand Cricket Turfgrass Disease Management

Project: Provision of a Turfgrass Disease Management Document for New Zealand Cricket

Client: New Zealand Cricket

Timeframe: 2016

SSDM was commissioned by New Zealand Cricket to independently provide a comprehensive guidelines document regarding turfgrass disease management and identification strategies for cricket facility turf managers throughout New Zealand. 

The guide focussed upon the following key criteria:

• Turfgrass disease identification
• Environmental factors conducive to disease occurance (the: 'Disease triangle')
• Treatment strategies (chemical and cultural)

The guideline document will be published by New Zealand Cricket and made available in a range of formats to cricket turf managers around the country.
