Foliar fertilization with nitrogen had a positive effect on reducing dollar spot ( Sclerotinia homoeocarpa ) incidence.  Trinexapac ethyl alone or in combination with nitrogen had no effect on dollar spot incidence.  Paclobutrazol decreased dollar spot incidence alone and in combination with nitrogen.
