In this episode of Root Docs, Green Solutions Team member Jesse Benelli interviews a pioneer in the study of Bermudagrass Decline/Take All Root Rot (TARR), Dr. Maria Tomaso-Peterson.
Learn how it’s hard to chase down TARR from a curative standpoint, and about the multiple pathogens that cause this devasting disease, Gaeumannomyces graminis, Gaeumannomyces sp., Magnaporthiopsis cynodontis, Candidacolonium cynodontis. (Plus, as an added bonus, hear how tenacious a researcher must be to identify a new disease, like Ink Spot.)
