Bermudagrass Decline Fungicide
Gaeumannomyces graminis Fungicide
Description of Bermudagrass Decline (Gaeumannomyces graminis):
Bermudagrass decline is often said to be the same as take-all patch, but they are very different. A complex combination of stressors cause bermudagrass decline, and take-all patch can be one of them. Bermudagrass decline is actually a result of fungus pressure, along with the combined pressure of high temperatures and humidity.
Essentially, it is not a disease; but fungicide applications are part of the solution.
