| Question: | "Why is it that, if brown-patch spores live in soil, the brown-patch attacks starts at the tips of the grass and not at its roots?" |

| Source of Question: | Massachusetts |

| Answer/Response: | "Your question as to why the disease affects the blades of grass when the fungus lives in the soil is one which is frequently asked. Just why this happens we do not know. It is not an uncommon thing for a fungus to attack the leaves of a plant and not ingure the roots. Similar conditions exist in human pathology. The organisms causing some of our skin diseases, for instance, do not affect parts of the body other than the skin." |
