Take-All Patch is a turf disease that affects the roots of grass. It initially appears as small, light brown dead patches on turf and once established, can continue to spread throughout the year. Grass that is stressed by take-all patch appears bronze to reddish brown and then fades to a dull brown.
What are the Symptoms of Take All Patch?
Symptoms of Take All Patch include:
Small, light brown dead patches on turf. Once established, the patches will continue to spread throughout the year. In some cases, patches may appear briefly and cease to spread.
Stressed grass appears bronze to reddish brown and then fades to a dull brown.
During winter affected patches turn grey.
In pure Bentgrass stands a circular or ring-shaped dead spot occurs.
Patches may enlarge (up to 15cm a year) to reach diameter of 1m or more.
Affected patches do not usually heal rapidly and the centres are invaded/ colonised by Fescue and weeds.
In mixed stands, the Bentgrass appears yellow-brown to brown, leaving a thinned overall stand dominated by Wintergrass or Fescue.
Stolons, rhizomes, roots and bases of shoots become dark brown to black before they are killed.
Less severely infected tissues often bear dark strands of mycelium oriented primarily parallel to the root axis.
