I test just about everything that goes into our patch. I also test roots of my plants to see just what they are "hosting". Here is a test of the roots and surrounding soil from where our new patch was put in. These are typical results for grass roots, all roots will "host" some sort of pathogens, I just wanted to make sure that the results were favorable before moving forward. Pythium will show on lawns in mid to late summer during high heat, moisture and humidity. (same time/conditions as on pumpkin plants) It will look like a blackish, greasy spot on your lawn. In the golf course industry they also call it grease spot. Harry the Plant Pathologist is very good to work with, he fully explains everything so its easy to understand. I also like his enthusiasm as noted in his note below the test. lol
