Meet the team behind our Take-All Patch research at the University of Guelph: Efe, Dr. Katerina Jordan, and Kieran! This team is working to better understand Take-All Patch, a frustrating turfgrass disease that can cause circular patches of declining or dead turf.

âť—And we need your helpâť—

If you have Take-All Patch on your turf, send us a sample! Samples from golf courses and other turf sites help our researchers better understand the disease, the pathogens involved, and how we can improve management strategies.

Have a suspected Take-All Patch sample? Visit GuelphTurfgrass.ca/TAP2026 for more details!
