Diseases in lawns in different areas - September 12th, 2002 at 01:58 AM
Hi I live in the Wisconsin area, and we have been plagued with a host of lawn diseases this season. So of which I have experienced before in other locations but never out here.
Now that the weather has started cooling off, the warm season diseases,
( fusarium, leaf and dollar spot, brown patch, and anthracnose have been the major ones) seem to be slowing down a bit. But they have weakened the lawns tremendously and I am not looking forward to the cool season crop of problems. I don't think the lawns are going to be able to take much more abuse this season.
I was just wondering if others have noticed a high incidence of fungal diseases this season. If so please respond and include your location. If you are of the unfortunate who have had one hit your yard, and want to know the best way to repair, and preventative measures to take for next season, ask away.
