The impact of anecic earthworms on the dispersal of Microdochium nivale in amenity sports turf [PDF]
, 2012 In sports surface management, integrated disease management (IDM) is useful in identifying the parameters for which disease can occur. The host, pathogen and environment are factors that are intrinsically linked for disease to manifest.
