Abstract/Contents:"A highly destructive disease of Z. japonica was observed in turfs in the climatic-transitional zone of the U.S.A. Zoysia patch has not been reported in other regions. Zoysia patch is perennial and disease severity is difficult to predict. Syptoms may appear in the spring and/or fall when soil temperatures are 15-20 C. Ectotrophic root colonization is followed by root destruction, premature death of lower leaves and finally the entire shoot. Rhizomes appears more resistant, but are colonized. Penetration of the root is direct and colonization is mainly in the cortical region, with occasional penetration of the stele. Root colonization and disease severity are enhanced by periodic wetting and draining of the root zone. The fungus is capable of colonizing turf 1 m radially in nine months and forms abundant phialospores on infected turf in culture. A teliomorphic state had not been observed. The anamorphic state is morphologically similar to the summer patch pathogen."
