The Bay House Pool

It’s that time of year again. Turn back the irrigation system to avoid fungal disease in your lawn and garden.

Look out for Large Patch...

What is it?
A common fungus that attacks St. Augustine lawns, Large Patch (formerly known as Brown Patch) forms roundish yellow or tan patches, 3-10 feet in diameter, in early October when daytime temps are around 80 degrees and nighttime temps are below 70 degrees. They're even more prevalent in spring.

Why don't I want it?
Beyond aesthetics, Large Patch weakens the overall health of your lawn, making it more susceptible to other diseases, pests, and environmental stressors.

How will I know if I have it?
In the fall, you might see a yellowish ring of grass surrounding the patch as the disease progresses. Sometimes, the center of the patch can recover, creating a "doughnut" appearance. Individual grass blades will have dark-brown to purple spots, will pull easily away from the stems, and will look brown and rotted at the base.

How do I avoid it?
No two ways about it, preventing Large Patch is all about proper lawn management: don't cut grass too short, avoid overirrigating and overfertilizing, and amend with compost and aerate to avoid compacted soil.

I see it. Now what?
While prevention is the key, organic fungicides can help stem an attack: neem oil, sulfur and copper-based fungicides, cornmeal and baking soda can be effective. However, the best place to start if you suspect you have Large Patch is to check with an expert. Contact Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service (936) 539-7822.
