Tall Fescue lawns are extremely susceptible to the deadly disease called “Brown Patch”. Usually, this disease is mistaken for heat or drought stress, but it is quite different. Here are some of the warning signs:
• Extended periods of hot, humid weather
• Irregular, water-soaked and sometimes brown-rimmed spots on grass blades
• Areas that look “drought stressed” or “under-watered”
Lawns that are watered in the late afternoon or early evening are more susceptible to the disease. Spring-Green's Brown Patch Preventer program can help save your lawn from costly renovation. If you suspect brown patch, call a Spring-Green professional immediately. If you are familiar with the warning signs and act quickly, it won't be too late to save your lawn from this devastating disease.
