Understanding the Formation of Fungal Diseases in Lawns
Knowledge about the onset and growth of fungal diseases is key to their effective control. Fungal growth demands specific conditions. While fungal spores are ubiquitous in all lawns, they cause issues only under the right circumstances. The convergence of these elements, named the disease triangle, leads to damage. Conditions necessary for fungal diseases to manifest include:
Presence of Pathogens
The infection can only start if spores from specific fungi are evident.
Prone Host
Unless the grass is vulnerable to a certain fungus, the infection won't take hold.
Favorable Environmental Conditions
Each fungus thrives under distinctive conditions, so the environment must be conducive to its growth.
Steps to Prevent Fungal Lawn Infections
Applying antifungal solutions is the best defense against a present infection. We also provide tips on reducing the risk of fungal infections, including:
- Planting disease-resistant species such as tall fescue.
- Regularly clipping your lawn to maintain a height of about 3.5 inches.
- Cutting no more than a third of the grass length at once.
- Watering your lawn as early as possible in the day, allowing it to dry before nightfall.
- Ensuring your lawn receives 1 to 1.5 inches of water each week.
- Periodically aerating your lawn to break up the thatch and improve aeration.
- Routinely caring for your lawn to keep it healthy.
Ideal Timing for Fungicide Applications
Any sign of disease necessitates an immediate antifungal application. To prevent or control significant fungal outbreaks, we recommend the professional application of our antifungal treatments. The best treatment plan will depend on your grass type, location, and the specifics of the fungal disease. Typically, antifungal solutions are applied monthly from early spring to late fall.

What is the Brown Patch Fungus?
The Brown Patch Fungus is denoted by circular brown patches of grass surrounded by thin, dark rings. This widespread fungal disease, caused by Rhizoctonia solani spores, spreads quickly and is hard to manage. We recommend immediate treatment for Brown Patch Fungus as soon as symptoms appear.
Do Antifungal Treatments Damage Grass?
No, our professional antifungal treatments are formulated to harm only the harmful fungi in the grass, not the grass itself. Correct timing is crucial to effectively eliminate the fungus.
How Can Fungicide Resistance Be Prevented?
The most effective strategy to prevent fungi from becoming resistant to treatments is a multi-pronged approach. We suggest choosing a variety of fungus-resistant plants and alternating between antifungal treatments. We only use antifungal treatments when necessary.
