“Hey large patch, quit Mickey Mousing around”

This is just for fun. Check out what my colleague Dr. Jack Fry and our student Mingying Xiang found today. I’ve seen a lot of large patch over the years, but it has never stared back at me quite like this.

Or, maybe it is Minnie, since the women on the large patch team outnumber Jack two-to-one:

This patch is in Latitude 36 bermudagrass on a sand base, in a sports field location.

On a more serious note, as a reminder, the 2017 Chemical Control of Turfgrass Diseases is now available online, as Jared just posted about.

Just for fun, here are a few more photos from Dr. Fry. It’s like a Rorschach test – what do YOU see?

Butterfly patch?

 

Mitosis patch? (Telophase)

 

Valentine patch

Snowman patch?
