GET TOUGH ON SNOW MOLD WITH ONE APPLICATION.
ONE LATE-SEASON APPLICATION PROVIDES ECONOMICAL SNOW MOLD CONTROL WITH IMPROVED TURF QUALITY AND COLOR Typhula spp. GRAY SNOW MOLD
Gray snow mold is often first noticed when snow melts in the spring. It’s usually found in turf areas with the greatest snow accumulation, along driveways or over the brink of hills. You’ll notice white crusted areas of grass in which blades are dead, bleached and matted together. The bleached areas range from several inches to several feet across. A key indicator is the presence of hard pinhead-sized fungal bodies called sclerotia. Light to dark brown in coloring, sclerotia are embedded in the leaves and crown of infected grass plants. Gray snow mold typically only damages the blades of grass. Microdochium nivale also called Fusarium patch Fungal spores are web-like, and pile up on the leaves of infected grasses, producing a white to pink to salmon color on circular patches of matted grass. On taller-mown turf, disease patches may not be circular. Pink snow mold does not produce sclerotia. Under severe conditions, the fungus can kill the crowns and roots of grass as well as the blades. Unlike gray snow mold, snow cover is not necessary for pink snow mold infection. Photos: William M. Brown Jr., Bugwood.org PINK SNOW MOLD
