Warm, humid conditions favour disease development. Temperatures over 25 degrees C. Motre than 10 hours a day of leaf wetness for consecutive days, soil compaction and low amounts of nitrogen also contribute to disease occurrence.
Management Tips
Decrease foot traffic, maintain adequate nitrogen and balanced fertility, irrigate the turf grass just enough to prevent wilting. Make preventative fungicide applications where the disease is a chronic problem.
