Brown Patch Disease: Identification and Treatment
Brown Patch Fungus is most common to Bermuda, Kentucky Bluegrass, Centipede Grass, Bent Grass, St. Augustine, and Ryegrasses in areas with high humidity and/or shade.
Brown patch lawn disease attacks many types of grass and really feeds off lawns that receive a large amount of fast-release nitrogen fertilizer. It is usually seen in the summer and is caused by a fungus called Rhizoctonia. The disease begins to show when temperatures hit 65 degrees, but then grow more actively when temperatures rise into the 80s and it becomes more humid.
Once started, brown patch lawn disease spreads fast. Brown patch fungus damage first appears as circular areas of brown and dead grass surrounded by a narrow, dark ring. Brown patch lawn disease grows out from a central point, so these circular areas can enlarge rapidly. Brown patch fungus circles range from a few inches in diameter to several feet and are not always true circles. Sometimes the patches grow together, creating large irregular dead areas with a sunken effect.
Since high levels of fast release nitrogen increase disease activity, it is imperative to use the correct blend of fertilizers for lawn fertilization and brown patch treatment during the warmer months. To reduce stress on the lawn, always keep it cut at least 2 inches long, especially in extreme periods of hot and humid weather. If possible, increase light and air by pruning overhanging trees and shrubs. During cooler seasons, a core aeration will help strengthen the root system and allow new, healthy grass to grow in the infected areas. Green Bee is here to help with all of your lawn treatment and brown patch treatment services.

Leaf Spot Disease: Identification and Treatment
Leaf spot is a fungal disease that affects cool season grasses in cool, moist weather.
It appears as a spot on the grass blade in its early stage and can quickly spread to the crown and roots and cause them to rot in the “melting-out” stage. The spores that cause leaf spot germinate within hours and spread quickly across large turf areas. Avoiding excessive watering and high nitrogen fertilizer applications can help prevent leaf spot.
