What do you feel is the most serious disease problem on Kentucky bluegrass? Bermudagrass? Zoysiagrass?

What will be an ideal response?


Kentucky bluegrass: This depends on where you live, cultivar(s) being grown, and your cultural management program. It could be necrotic ring spot or summer patch, "Helminthosporium" diseases, snow mold, or rust. You need to correctly diagnose the problem and examine your cultural practices.

Bermudagrass: In the northern half of the ‘bermudagrass zone' this would usually be spring dead spot. In very southern areas, bermudagrass decline. Other major problems may be a "Helminthosporium" disease, Rhizoctonia diseases, and nematodes. It depends largely on the amount of rainfall or irrigation, fertilizer program, winter temperatures, and amount of thatch accumulation.
