Submit Your Take-All Sample For Free!

by Sara Stricker, Guelph Turfgrass Institute

Does your golf course have a history of, or currently suffer from, take-all patch disease in areas where creeping bentgrass is grown? If so, this message is for you!

Kieran Molony, a master's student under Dr. Katerina Jordan, is conducting research on take-all patch disease and its causal pathogens in creeping bentgrass. We need superintendents who are willing to send in samples of these affected areas. You might be asking, what benefits would I get from helping out with this project?

1. Free disease diagnosis (of turf you suspect has take-all patch disease) – $135 value

2. Free data of chemical and physical properties of the soil in sample – $50 value
