How do the symptoms of dollar spot appear on turf?

  1. As large brown patches

  2. As small bleached white spots

  3. As yellow streaks

  4. As irregular clusters

The correct answer is: As small bleached white spots

The symptoms of dollar spot on turfgrass typically manifest as small, bleached white spots that can range from the size of a quarter to a few inches in diameter. These spots are characterized by a light tan or bleached appearance, often surrounded by a darker green halo, which distinguishes them from other types of turf diseases. The small size and distinct color contrast of these spots are key identifiers of dollar spot, making it easy to recognize the disease during its early stages. As the disease progresses, these spots may coalesce to form larger areas affected by the pathogen, but the initial presentation is generally small and localized. Understanding the nature of these symptoms is crucial for timely identification and management of the disease.
