Spring Dead Spot
Spring Dead Spot
Ophiosphaerella korraeOphiosphaerella herpotrichaOphiosphaerella narmari
caused by:
Roots of affected bermudagrassturn dark-brown to black. A gooddiagnostic symptom of springdead spot.

Spring Dead SpotFavorable Environment- Warm fall weather – Temps. >50°F in September, October,
and November
- Followed by cold winters - <20°F for extended periods.
- Disease is severe in compact soil with pH >6.3
Spring Dead Spot ManagementCultural Management- Reduce N applications in late summer and fall. High fall N
can delay dormancy and increase chances of winter kill.

- Use ammonium-based nitrogen fertilizers to reduce pH ofthatch and soil. Ophiosphorella spp. do not grow well atpH < 6.3.

- Maintain moderate to high amounts of soil K to promotetolerance to winter kill.

- Maintain moderate to high amounts of soil K to promotetolerance to winter kill.
- Reduce thatch and soil compaction to promote good rootgrowth.
Spring Dead Spot ManagementChemical Control- propiconazole, thiophanate-methyl, fenarimol,azoxystrobin and myclobutanil. Best results with fenarimol (Rubigan) or myclobutanil (Eagle).

- applications must be made in fall (early Oct. toearly Nov. in Georgia). Best control achievedwith 2-3 applications 3-4 wks apart. xListed as ounces of product per 1000 sq.ft. unless indicated otherwise. Appl. Dates – 4 Oct and 1 Nov.

Rhizoctonia Large Patchcaused by:
Rhizoctonia solani(strain AG 2-2 LP)
Disease is active in the spring(April – May) and fall (Oct. –Nov.) in GA
Symptoms may persistthroughout the summer
RHIZOCTONIA LARGE PATCH
Susceptible Grasses
All warm season grasses.
RHIZOCTONIA LARGE PATCH
Favorable Environment
- Night temps <60°F.
- High soil moisture.
- More than 10 hr. of crown and stolonwetness per day for several days.

MANAGEMENT OFRHIZOCTONIA LARGE PATCH
MANAGEMENT OFRHIZOCTONIA LARGE PATCHCultural Management
- Avoid N fertility in spring and fall.
- Improve soil drainage- Decrease shade and increase air circulation.- Avoid irrigation in late afternoon and in
evening prior to midnight.- Maintain thatch at ½ inch or less.
MANAGEMENT OFRHIZOCTONIA LARGE PATCH
Resistant Species and Cultivars
- No cultivars are known to be resistant.
- Generally, bermudagrass will recoverfaster than either zoysia, St. Augustine orcentipede.
Management of Large PatchChemical Control – Fall applications recommended
Contact fungicides – chlorothalonil, mancozeb,polyoxin. 14 days control
Localized penetrants – iprodione, vinclozolin,trifloxystrobin, pyraclostrobin. 21 days control
Systemic fungicides – azoxystrobin, flutolanil,thiophanate-methyl, propiconazole, triadimefon,fenarimol. 21-28 days control

The Ultradwarf Option• Reasons to consider:
– No dead grass in summer– Fewer inputs required (fungicides)– Aeration done in summer– Less water, easier irrigation scheduling– Fewer employees– Ability to tolerate poor water quality relative to
creeping bentgrass– Ability to perform in a rootzone that is less than
desirable– Far more stress tolerant– Can meet and exceed golfer expectations
The Ultradwarf Option
• How would your owner feel about a grass that could be managed at a lower cost while providing green speeds at 9 – 10 every day of the year?
• Would it be a plus if all the disruption associated with core aeration was done in the summer months?
Ultradwarf Bermudagrass Varieties
• Champion • TifEagle• Mini Verde
