Multiple cases of Pythium root dysfunction, caused by Pythium volutum, have been confirmed in our lab from golf courses with creeping bentgrass putting greens throughout the Piedmont and Coastal Plains of North Carolina. The warmer than usual weather conditions have warmed the soil temperatures well into the optimum range for PRD development.
If you've had problems with PRD in the past, then you should have already started your preventative program. Don't worry if you haven't, there's still time to correct this issue before summer arrives. Remember, this is a ROOT DISEASE, therefore you must WATER-IN your fungicide applications to be successful!
