Question:"We carried out extensive oversowing on the base lines of the courts this year and good results were achieved initially, but now a great many reddish patches have appeared and the grass within in these circles appears to be dead or dying. We enclose a sample of turf and await your advice."
Answer/Response:"The sample of turf is affected by a damping-off disease. Control measures should be applied immediately using an inorganic mercury-based fungicide. Further oversowing may be attempted once the disease is controlled but at this stage returfing would no doubt be the most reliable method of re-establishing a grass cover. You may be able to find sufficient turf on the surrounds but if buying in is necessary then it is essential that the turf is of suitable quality, i.e. a dense sward comprising fine-leaved species of grass growing in a suitable heavyish loam. The turf should be carefully laid to good levels and then top dressed with screened heavy loam top soil as used for the main top dressing of the whole area."
