How can I know my lawn has fungus?
Have you noticed browning spots on your lawn or maybe even some mushrooms? If so, there is a good chance you have fungus.
Increased rainfall, standing water and even snow can cause fungus during the winter months, revealing itself in the spring.
Here are some telltale signs you have fungus:
- Yellow, brown or white rings
- Orange, gray, black, red or even purple spots
- Thinning, discolored grass
- Slimy or greasy looking grass
Treatment and prevention
- It is fairly easy to treat lawn fugus. Simply apply lawn fungicide, as directed, to the damaged area.
- Some experts suggest using a granular fungicide, so you are not introducing more water to the area.
- Maintaining a healthy lawn with proper mowing, watering and feeding will also help minimize the appearance or recurrence of fungus.
