Question: | "We are sending you two samples of turf taken from brown patches that appeared during October. The patches are irregular in shape and up to 12 inches in diameter. Can you ascertain if there are brown-patch spores present? The weather has been cool here, and as we understand it brown-patch does not occur except in hot, muggy weather." |
Source of Question: | Michigan |
Answer/Response: | "Your samples have been examined and they bear no evidence of being affected with the brown-patch disease. The turf does however appear to be suffering from lack of watering and topdressing. If you will examine it yourself you will find quite a mass of runners above the surface of the soil. Unless these runners are topdressed regularly the plants will have difficulty in securing sufficient moisture and nourishment. We would suggest that you topdress your turf with a compost consisting of four parts clay loam, one part sand, and one part well rotted manure or similar organic matter, applying this topdressing at the rate of 1 cubic yard to 5,000 square feet of surface. One application late in the fall should be made, and frequent applications throughout the growing season." |
