G86-824 Snow Mold Diseases Of Turfgrasses (Revised February 1991), John E. Watkins

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

How to identify, prevent, and control the principal snow molds of turfgrass in Nebraska.

Principal snow molds of Nebraska turfgrass are Fusarium patch (pink snow mold) and Typhula blight (gray snow mold). Of these two, Fusarium patch is usually the most prevalent and, due to the general lack of continuous snow cover during winter, probably the most damaging. Although snow molds occur on most types of turf grown in Nebraska, fine-leaved turf types are more often seriously injured than coarser lawn grasses.
