Proper lawn care can prevent Brown Patch causes unsightly patches of blighted turfgrass, and is capable of infecting and killing most cultivated turfgrass species. Young, immature grass seedlings are highly susceptible to the disease. During long periods of hot, wet and humid conditions, brown patch can develop rapidly so that large blighted area can occur within 24-48 hours. Preventative and curative fungicide applications are made for managing the disease on highly cultivated turfgrass such as golf course greens, tees and fairways. The disease is a common nuisance in home or commercial lawns, but in most cases it does not kill the plants. Turfgrass usually recovers from light attacks in two to three weeks with cooler
cially on short-cut turf. The disease usually has some green leaves present within the Mike patch. Klahr In highHORTICULTURE cut turfCONCERNS grass, affected areas appear as larger circles of 2–3 feet in diameter or general thinning of areas with irregular shapes. Grayishbrown lesions or oblong spots may be seen on some of the blades that are still partly green. White, weblike fungi resembling cobwebs may be seen around the circles in the morning during periods of high relative humidity. Brown Patch fungus
Question: My lawn is dying out in somewhat rounded patches that are 1 to 3 feet in diameter. The grass just turns brown and dies. What can I do to stop it? Answer: The problem you describe is probably due to a common turfgrass disease that’s simply called Brown Patch. Symptoms of brown patch vary greatly depending upon turf species, mowing height, soil, and environmental conditions. In low-cut turfgrass, symptoms appear as irregularly blighted patches of a few inches to 2 feet in diameter, especially evident during mornings of warm humid weather. A chief field diagnostic feature is a dark purplish gray smoke-ring border on diseased areas, espe-

shade trees to reduce the level of free water and humidity on the lawn. During a disease outbreak, the diseased grass clippings should be caught and disposed of, rather than left on the lawn. Since home lawns are not usually killed by Brown Patch, control is
attained through proper mowing, fertilizing and watering, which will significantly reduce the problem. Mike Klahr is the Boone County extension agent for horticulture.

temperatures and/or dry conditions. There are several factors involved in preventing or managing Brown Patch fungus in turfgrass. Excessive nitrogen fertilizer applications should be avoided, especially in warm and wet weather. Lawns should be fertilized primarily in the fall. Keeping foliage dry and avoiding wet soil are the most important practices to reduce disease pressure. Irrigation should be reduced, especially late in the day during disease-activating periods. If possible, irrigate in the morning. Never water in the evening. Excessive water should be properly drained. Increase light penetration and air circulation by overhead pruning of
