In this video, I take you through the state of the science on dollar spot disease in turfgrass, framed by the recent review “New Approaches to an Old Problem: Dollar Spot of Turfgrass.” We explore how this ubiquitous fungal disease (caused by Clarireedia spp.) continues to challenge turf managers, why traditional fungicide programs are increasingly under pressure, and what new genomic tools and breeding strategies may offer as solutions. I’ll break down the authors’ discussion of pathogen genomics, host–pathogen interactions, and quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance, while also reflecting on where future research might be headed. Whether you’re a turfgrass scientist, practitioner, or just curious about plant pathology, this video gives an accessible, evidence-based look at tackling a persistent problem in turf management.
