There has been an explosion of lawn fungus from the extreme heat and humidity in the last week or 2. Be careful as the fungus looks like drought or heat stress/ summer dormancy to the untrained eye. If you suspect that you may have a fungus, call a professional to help guide you. There are many cultural practices that you can try, but if it is bad enough it could “melt out” and severely affect the health of your lawn.
As always we are here if you need help.
Our lawn, which was extremely robust and healthy, has been completely destroyed by what I think is fungus. what is the proper treatment? can this be prevented in the future? and what, if anything, can be done to bring back the lawn?
You may in fact have a fungus. Without more specific information, it is impossible to give you the proper information. In general if you have a fungus, find out what type it is then apply the proper fungicide. After 2 weeks apply another round. In the mean time make sure that you are watering deeply, but infrequently. The fungus will thrive in moist conditions, the turf will thrive with deep infrequent irrigation. I hope this helps. If not, email us @ info@princetonscapes.com we will try to help you more specifically.
