Drechslera is turf disease growing under stressful conditions, particularly in poorly draining profiles and areas with shade issues. Early symptoms of drechslera may include the appearance of small, water-soaked lesions on infected foliage.
What are the symptoms of Drechslera?
Symptoms of Drechslera include:
Small, water-soaked lesions may initially appear in infected foliage.Â
Lesions may then become dark reddish purple to brown in colour with a yellow chlorotic margin.Â
Deepening of lesions occurs until lesions become pitted and ulcerous in appearance, resulting in the angled collapse of infected leaf blades.Â
Lesions are generally ovular to oblong in shape, running parallel to the leaf blade or rhizome and as they enlarge they may coalesce to blight entire leaves.Â
Patchy blighted areas of turf may result in melting out of large areas, where turf becomes thin and unthrifty.Â
Crown and root rot may also occur resulting in wilting and chlorosis.
