3 common lawn fungal diseases in Texas

In the Brazos Valley area of Texas, lawns are susceptible to several warm-weather lawn diseases that thrive on high temperatures, high humidity, and the right conditions that our properties here offer. There are  three common lawn fungal diseases  that we see across our region. Look out for these lawn killers on your property: Brown Patch: This is one of the  most destructive and fast-spreading fungal diseases  that affect turf lawn. It attacks a wide variety of grass types and especially goes after lawns that are fed fast-release nitrogen fertilizers. This  summertime disease  is caused by Rhizoctonia and is  most active during warmer temperatures of 80-85° along with high humidity. Gray Leaf Spot: This disease is common during  late spring and into early summer,  and tends to affect  lawns that hold a lot of moisture. You will notice this lawn disease creates small brown spots on individual blades. Early treatment is critical with Leaf Spot in order to eradicate it from your property. Take All Patch: The deadly cousin of Brown Patch, Take All Patch  damages grass from the roots to the blades, leaving brown holes of dirt when you remove the grass. Fungicides are rarely helpful, so the  key to getting rid of this fungal disease is early detection  followed by preventative fungus and disease control applications.
