How to Identify Fungus in Your Lawn

We can experience a number of lawn diseases in the tri-state area (Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware) and before you decide you need fungus treatment, it’s important to know how to recognize fungus in your lawn.

How to find Leaf Spot

Leaf spot, otherwise known as “melting-out diseases” are provoked by a special group of fungi. This group is referred to as Helminthosporium. Every season, our grass species are prone to a leaf spotting or “melting-out” effect. You can start to see this attack when your grass starts to become burnt out or consumed by burned brown spots. During the summer months, leaf spotting can attack nearly every turf species—tall fescue and ryegrass are especially prone to this attack. However, it’s advised to keep a close watch late spring through the summer months for the extreme damage and activity.

How to find Dollar Spot

Many lawn care diseases, once appearing only on golf courses, are now appearing commonly on our lawns. On our home turf, cut at 1 to 3 inches, with light tan or white dead areas reaching 2 to 4 inches in distance are good indicators of having dollar spot. These spots can ultimately produce large areas of dead turf. The most severe cases of dollar spot may occur during the muggy summer months on turf receiving a closely-spaced water source. This may also occur if your turf doesn’t have a proper irrigation source as the humidity can overtake your turf. Dollar spot is most direct when under a nitrogen deficiency or when your grass grows too slow.

How to find Red Thread

This common lawn fungus is prevalent amongst perennial ryegrass and fine fescue. These are the two most susceptible species of turf to this disease. There is a good chance you may notice these unsightly red/pinkish blotches on your turf as you went to get the mail, or as you may walk up to our door when you arrive home from work. Other contributing factors to the cause of red thread are insufficient nitrogen levels, and poor drainage of the turf. The more moisture on your lawn, the higher the probability of red thread occurring on your property is, or any disease for that matter.

When Does Your Lawn Need Fungus Control?

If you’ve identified fungus in your yard then you likely need a fungicide program to treat your lawn. With the combination of high summer temperatures, high humidity levels and inconsistent rainfall, it’s common to have to treat lawn care disease in the summer months. Fescue and Ryegrass are especially exposed to developing Red Thread, Leaf Spot and Dollar Spot during the summer months. Factors that can increase the likelihood of developing this harmful lawn disease, and subsequently needing treatment, are mowing at the wrong height, poor turf drainage and improper watering. Each of these indicate it’s time get your fungus under control.

And if you’re part of our lawn fertilizing program we look to provide you with the most personalized information pertaining to your lawn possible during each visit to your property.  If any of our technicians notice this fungus activity on your lawn, we will be sure to make your aware of its presence, and any actions that need to be taken to resolve this issue, or any others.

The service and quality continues to be great, but the technician at times does not place the notification sign/flag that the lawn has been treated. This has happened on and off for the last several treatments and with different technicians.
