| Question: | "Last year we continuously experienced a severe yellowing of the turf during the growing season. Leaf blades elongated and appeared asa if they were infected with some disease. The infected, chlorotic plants always grew above the canopy of the healthier-looking turf. Any thoughts?" |

| Answer/Response: | "Enlist the aid of a diagnostic laboratory and request that a test for bacterial wilt be performed. Clogging of the plants' vascular systems from xanthomonas activity causes an unnatural elongated growth pattern similar to turf trying to compete under extreme shade. Bacterial wilt could predispose the turf to complete collapse if harsh environmental conditions are experienced. If this condition is in the fairways, then consider incorporating grasses that are not susceptible to this pathogen. Look at it as an opportunity to selectively remove Poa annua, which is susceptible to this organism." |
