The patches can expand up to 3 feet wide and eventually turn brown and straw colored and die. The roots and rhizomes of the affected turf turn brown to black. The disease sometimes causes a symptom known as “frog eye”, in which some grass survives inside the dead patch, creating of damaged turf.
Favorable Conditions
Necrotic Ring Spot initiates in moist soil, thrives in temperatures up to 80 degrees and becomes more severe in higher temperatures and drought conditions.
