Take All Root Rot (TARR) is a disease that affects St. Augustine grass, which is a warm-season turfgrass commonly used for lawns in the southern United States and other warm climates.
Symptoms of Take All Root Rot in St. Augustine grass include:
1. Yellowing and wilting: Infected grass may exhibit yellowing or chlorosis of the leaves, and the grass may wilt even when soil moisture levels are adequate.
2. Thinning and patchiness: Affected areas of the lawn may thin out, with patches of dead or dying grass appearing. These patches can range in size from small spots to large areas of the lawn.
3. Root decline: The roots of affected grass may become stunted, brown, and rotted. Severely infected roots may have a dark, decayed appearance.
4. Stolons and rhizomes: Stolons (above-ground stems) and rhizomes (below-ground stems) of the grass may also be affected, exhibiting dark lesions or rotting.
Take All Root Rot is often more severe in areas with poor soil drainage or overly wet conditions. It can be particularly problematic in compacted soils or in areas with excessive thatch buildup.
In severe cases, fungicides may be necessary to control the disease, but they are typically used in combination with cultural practices for best results. If you suspect your St. Augustine grass is affected by Take All Root Rot, it's a good idea to consult with a local extension service or lawn care professional for specific management recommendations tailored to your area and condition
