Browning of your turfgrass is normal in autumn and winter within the Southwestern U.S., but browning of turfgrass could also be caused by pathogens, diseases, and insects. The turfgrass shown in the larger photo is healthy, although browning due to seasonal changes, which is normal as previously mentioned. This is contrasted with the turfgrass shown in the inset, which is affected by brown patch disease. Brown patch, which causes irregular round areas or patches, tan foliage, leaf lesions, as well as mycelial growth of hyphae that appears as cobwebs, is caused by fungal infection of cool-season grasses only.

If you notice these types of symptoms on your turfgrass, give #LingoExterminators a call (229.54.LINGO) that we may provide proper diagnosis of these symptoms, and a possible treatment that provides a remedy.🐜🧢🌎
