Soil temperatures are approaching five-day averages of 70°F here in Blacksburg, VA. Spring dead spot fungicide applications are just around the corner! From our research, the optimal time to apply fungicides for SDS suppression is at five-day average soil temps between 55-70°F.

Reseeding safety after preemergence herbicides applied in May. Good ryegrass but poor bentgrass establishment from a mid-August seeding. For unplanned seedings, check herbicide label for safe reseeding interval, especially if seeding bentgrass.

Characteristic orange, hydrophobic layer associated with fairy ring. Note that until the hydrophobicity is remediated fungicides will have limited effect. Needs a soil surfactant and opened up in conjunction with fungicide application. Even then it will take a while…

Evidence of predisposition- abiotic stress prior to infection that affects susceptibility of the host to disease. Fertilized bermudagrass looks awesome, yet non-fertilized affected with leaf spot. Both areas have not received a fungicide application recently.

It's the time of year to keep an eye out for goosegrass breakthrough. Standard pre programs provided good control so far, but closer inspection reveals goosegrass seedlings. Scout for seedlings and apply post herbicides before plants get too big.
