Take All Patch

Take all patch is a fungal disease common on bentgrass, particularly on young plants. Symptoms first appear in late spring as small, brown, dead areas of grass approximately 2″ in diameter.

Start with sanitation: remove and dispose of affected material as you find it. Thin dense growth to improve air circulation, and redirect irrigation away from foliage. If the condition persists despite cultural adjustments, your local Extension office can help identify the pathogen and recommend targeted treatments.
