Do you struggle to get your lawn as green as you would like it to be? If you have discolored sections of grass, your lawncare routine may not be to blame. Fungal growths on lawns can cause them to look dead, forming brown or yellow patches across your lawn. While this can be discouraging to see, fungicide treatments are a way to combat these lawn diseases when properly applied. While the best way to control a lawn disease is multifaceted, getting ahead of a spreading disease is critical to limiting the damage it will cause. Lawn Pride of Lafayette, Kokomo, and Muncie offers lawn fungicide treatments in Lafayette, Kokomo, and Muncie, and the surrounding areas. Learn more about our lawn fungicide treatments.
Identifying Your Kind of Lawn Fungus
It’s crucial to deal with a fungal invasion of your lawn as quickly as possible. The first step in the fight against fungus is to identify the specific type and apply a fungicide before the fungus gets out of control. There are more different types of fungi than you can count. So, identification can be a problem for the average person. Luckily, Lawn Pride of Lafayette, Kokomo, and Muncie’s lawn care specialists are trained to select the most effective fungicide to control the spread of disease in your lawn. Disease in turf is influenced significantly by rainfall, temperature, humidity, cultural practices, and the environment in your area. Some of the most common types of lawn fungus include the following:
- Brown patch lawn disease
- Yellow patch lawn disease
- Zoysia patch lawn disease
- Summer patch lawn disease
- Take-All patch lawn disease
- Dollar spot lawn disease
- Snow mold lawn disease
- Slime mold lawn disease
- Leaf spot lawn disease
- Pythium lawn blight
- Red thread lawn disease
- Fairly Ring lawn disease
- Necrotic ring spot lawn disease
- Powdery mildew lawn disease
- Rust lawn disease
- Fusarium patch lawn disease
- Stripped smut lawn disease
- Crown rot anthracnose
Disease tends to return to the same lawns year after year without significant changes in cultural practices and the introduction of disease resistant grass types. As such, our technicians may recommend you add the fungicide program to your regular program to ensure we are able to take a more proactive instead of reactive approach to limiting disease activity in your lawn.

What Causes Lawn Fungus to Develop?
In order to win the war against fungal disease in your yard, you need to first understand the lifecycle of a fungal infection. Fungi only form when certain situations arise. So, when you know how they start, you can successfully combat them with fungicides for lawns and other interventions. Fungal spores are present in almost every yard, but they only become an infection when there are three specific conditions. The conditions for a fungal lawn disease include the following:
- Presence of Pathogens – For a fungal disease to take root in your lawn, spores from that type of fungus must be present. You can think of spores like the seeds of a fungal infection.
- Susceptible Hosts – Even if certain fungal spores are present, they may not turn into a full-blown disease if your type of grass is not vulnerable to that type of fungus. Some kinds of grass are resistant to some kinds of fungus. So, the disease will only develop if your grass is a susceptible host to that type of fungus.
- Environment Conditions – Each type of fungi requires the right conditions for it to grow and take over your lawn. If the environment is too dry, too hot, or too cold, the fungus may not spread.
