LANDSCAPE LESSON OF THE MONTH: RHIZOCTONIA
Susceptible Turfgrass: Zoysia
Symptoms: Rhizoctonia large patch (zoysia patch) causes rings or patches of blighted turfgrass that measure 5 inches to 10 feet or more in diameter. Patches are brown to yellow in appearance, with a possible "orange firing" at the periphery of the patches. Small reddish-brown colored leaf spots occure of leaf sheaths, stems and stolons. After the leaves die in the blighted area, new leaves can emerge from the surviving crowns. |
