For example? In the UK Heritage Maxx is registered for fusarium (Microdochium nivale), Brown patch (Rhizoctonia solani), Leaf Spot (Drechslera poae) and Anthracnose (Colletotrichum graminicola) at 2.5L/Ha. In Australia its registered at 6L/Ha and in the USA at 3-6L/Ha for these? Same diseases and I know different climate but surely not that much difference? Any ideas?

No matter the form of cricket be it 20/20 test or 50overs it is always beautiful. Dont think I ever see another ground anywhere in the world which is constantly the high standard the 'G' sets. The great patterns for 20/20 have also been a highlight. Joe kewell http://www.pitchcare.co.nz/message/message/56651 http://www.pitchcare.co.nz/message/message/56651
