DOLLAR SPOT CONTROL DOLLAR SPOT CONTROL ON CREEPING BENTGRASS GREEN >> ‘CRENSHAW’, DR. BRUCE MARTIN, CLEMSON UNIVERSITY (2012) Dollar spot is a foliar turfgrass disease that infects susceptible grasses in spring once night temperatures remain above 10°C and heavy dews from warmer day temperatures create prolonged periods of leaf wetness. Symptoms will appear late spring or early summer leaving white or light tan lesions on affected leaves. Dollar spot forms small silver dollar sized spots on closely mowed turf such as course greens. Without treatment, infected spots may kill grass to the soil surface and multiple spots may merge into large blighted areas.
