Overview

Think those turfgrass patches are just stress? They may actually be anthracnose. This 2-page factsheet shows how to diagnose and manage this common disease. Download your copy today and stop turf damage early!

The visible symptoms of anthracnose on turf are variable. Typically, it is recognized by damaged turf in a pattern of dots, circles, or irregularly shaped patches-ranging in size from several inches to many feet in diameter. The overall color of affected turfgrass can go from orange to reddish brown to tan. The fungal disease also causes a foliar blight (or a basal rot of individual plants). (2 pages)
