| Question: | "Our greens suffer badly from dry patch, even through a wetter summer such as this. It was with great interest that I read articles by Kate York (Plant Pathologist at STRI) relating the research being undertaken into this problem. What I want to know, is there any sign of a cure for fungal related dry patch?" |
|---|
| Answer/Response: | "The research completed at the STRI into the development of dry patch in the UK, has shown that certain fungi, i.e. Marasmius oreades (the fungus responsible for the formation of Type 1 fairy rings) are capable of causing the development of water-repellence in soil through which they have passed. The severity of the water-repellence observed in this situation equals that seen in soil samples taken from areas affected by dry patch. However, research completed on fairy ring forming fungi which live in the upper part of the soil profile and do not show such severe water-repellence as observed at depth, in areas of dry patch. It is believed that fungi are in some way contributing to, if not completely causing, water-repellence in dry patch areas but further research is necessary before definite answers can be given. It is hoped that such research will be started over the next few years to offer a conclusive answer to this serious problem which affects such a large area of amenity turf.Regarding a cure for dry patch, the answer still has to be the use of wetting agents along with spiking to allow penetration of the wetter to depths in the soil profile where it is most needed. This does not offer a cure to the problem but will relieve the severity of the symptoms expressed during the summer months. It is important to get the wetting agent onto affected areas prior to the onset of symptom expression." |
