🚨 Turf Disease Alert: Brown Patch & Pythium on the Rise! 🚨
Over the last two weeks, we've entered a stretch of weather that’s off the charts for turf disease—with high temps, humidity, and near-daily rainfall. These are ideal conditions for outbreaks of Brown Patch (Rhizoctonia Solani) and some Pythium across our region.
📸 The photos were taken in the past week.
🏡 This is affecting home lawns, golf courses, and sports fields alike.
Many homeowners are mistaking this damage for grubs—it’s not. Grub damage typically shows up late July through early September. Here’s how to tell the difference:
• Grub Damage: Turf pulls up like a rug (roots are gone)
• Disease Damage: Turf stays rooted (roots still intact)
