Does Bermuda get Take All Root Rot?

I'm in Plano, TX and I was getting ready to resod with Bermuda. Seemed the way to go after seeing multiple threads here about Bermuda and how hard it is to kill and how it's a much better grass for NTX than St Augustine, but I just read in Neil Sperry's weekly newsletter that Bermuda in N TX is showing signs of Take All Root Rot. My lawn died over the past year(freezes, drought etc) and I suspect it was Take All Root Rot, so it's now in my soil right? Am I just wasting time and money resodding with Bermuda? Will it also get Take All Root Rot?

I have splotches in mine and I'm in North Louisiana. It is filling back in nicely though.

Tarr can affect Bermuda but it’s very rare. So rare that I have never seen it.

Love his stuff on gardening, but he knows next to nothing about lawncare.

I saw your post on TLF. Funny guys...
It seems like TARR is problematic where soil is very high in ph??
Good luck!

That was me lol. I'm from Nola so always grew up with St Augustine and no one ever did anything to it except cut it, so living up here in Plano is quite challenging for me when it comes to lawncare. I was going to install Tiftuf since this board seems to like it and it seems easy. Now I'm falling down a rabbit hole of sod worms, army worms, disease etc. I want to have the products ready to go although I'm leaning more and more into just putting gravel down in my whole backyard lol j/k

Honestly, a $50 3/4 gal. bottle of Talstar P will go a long way as a preventative for most lawn pests. You might need to add a little grub ex, but that's about it. DoMyOwn- Talstar P
