Dollar spot symptoms include which description?

• A. Small roughly circular bleached patches. 2-6 inches in lawn turf grass. 1-2 inches on putting greens
• B. Large irregular purple patches
• C. Sunken gray patches with dead tissue
• D. Circular dark brown patches without bleaching

Answer: (A)

Dollar spot shows up as small, bleached patches on turfgrass. The hallmark is a light, straw-colored or bleached look, rather than darker or purple tones. On lawns, these patches tend to be larger, about 2 to 6 inches across, while on putting greens they are smaller, about 1 to 2 inches across. This size pattern helps distinguish dollar spot from other issues that produce larger, irregular or differently colored patches. The other descriptions don’t fit dollar spot: large irregular purple patches point to a different disease or issue with pigment changes; sunken gray patches with dead tissue suggests a different stress or pathogen; circular dark brown patches without bleaching are not characteristic of dollar spot, which yields the distinct bleached appearance.
