Lawn Fungus Control through Lawn Fungicide Applications

Lawn Fungus Control can be as easy as calling King GREEN. There are many different types of turf grasses in the Atlanta and Charlotte areas, and with the southeast’s hot, humid weather, disease is always a possibility. King GREEN offers lawn fungicide applications for many different diseases that occur in Fescue, Bermuda, and Zoysia.

Brown Patch in Fescue

Almost all fescue lawns will get Brown Patch to one degree or another during the summer months. Factors that increase this disease are improper watering, poor drainage, poor air circulation, dull mower blades and mowing at the wrong height. It can be recognized by leaf blades first appearing water soaked and dark. Leaf blades will wilt and become light brown as the tissue dies. King GREEN offers a preventative disease program that will aid in lawn fungus control. Our lawn fungus control program for Brown Patch begins in late April and continues until September. This program utilizes a lawn fungicide that helps control the pathogens that cause the Brown Patch fungus.

Dollar Spot in Bermuda or Zoysia

Bermuda and Zoysia lawns are susceptible to Dollar Spot in the hot summer months. It can be recognized by a 2 inch diameter or smaller tan spot in the lawn. If left unchecked the spots could grow together and produce large, irregular brown areas in the lawn. Infected leaf blades have light tan lesions with reddish brown borders. You may also notice cobweb-like mycelium when your grass is wet with dew. While preventative measures are almost impossible to predict, if you notice these spots in your lawn, we can help control them with lawn fungicide applications. We recommend a minimum of 2 lawn fungicide applications to control the disease, but more may be necessary.

Zoysia Patch

If you notice discolored arcs or large circles in your Zoysia lawn you are most likely experiencing an advanced case of Zoysia Patch. This disease is most prominent during the seasonal transition phase, primarily at “green up”. A variety of factors contribute to this disease, which can include compacted soil excessive thatch buildup, and unseasonably warm temperatures during the winter months. The treatment of Zoysia Patch involves professional applications of lawn fungicide. Please contact a King GREEN professional for questions regarding Zoysia Patch and Lawn Fungus Control.
