    Has anyone that applies compost to your fairways and tees seeing any reduction of dollar spot by applying the compost.

    My thought is with DMI resistances becoming more prevalent, I'm search for alternatives....

    Doug,

    I did this to a bent, poa, rye tee in June with good success on dollar spot for about 6 weeks without a fungicide application then the dollar spot began to move in. I split the tee in two with the application. I did have brown patch at that time on the compost treated side. This compost did have a little fortification product in it but not on the label. This was a bagged compost out of CA called TurfMax.
