Brown Patch

Definition:

Brown Patch

A fungal disease that typically occurs midsummer and results in unattractive patches of browned or blighted turf. On some lawns it can appear as roughly circular patches that can range in size. If proper lawn care is not utilized, a lawn with this disease can appear wilted despite sufficient moisture in the soil. Maintaining proper grass care and not over fertilizing can prevent brown patch from occurring.
