Fusarium patch is a type of fungal disease in turf caused by Microdochium nivale. Fusarium patch appears as circular, water-soaked spots, usually 5cm in diameter. As the disease develops, the spots may enlarge but are usually less than 20cm in diameter.
What are the Symptoms of Fusarium Patch?
Symptoms of Fusarium patch disease include:
Circular patches appear as small, water-soaked spots less than 5cm in diameter.
Patches change in colour from orange-brown to dark brown and finally to a light grey.
Spots may enlarge indefinitely, but are usually less than 20cm in diameter.
On low cut turf a halo-like “smoke ring”may appear on the outer margin of the patch. The outer ring may have a water-soaked appearance.
In very wet conditions a thin to fluffy covering of white mycelium may be seen on matted leaves.
The mycelium is white, but on exposure to sunlight induces spore production which is a pink colour.
