What is Brown Patch Disease? Brown Patch is a common fungal disease affecting tall fescue lawns, especially during hot, humid summers in the Holly Springs, NC area. It manifests as circular, brown patches of dead or wilting grass. While most tall fescue lawns can recover with proper care, severe cases or continuous favorable conditions for the fungus can lead to significant damage.
How does the treatment work? Our Fungicide Treatment Program for brown patch disease combines two modes of action to provide the best protection available. We combine the use of contact and systemic fungicides. Contact fungicides protect plants by forming a barrier on the surface, preventing fungal spores from germinating and infecting the plant. Systemic fungicides, on the other hand, are absorbed by the plant and move throughout its tissues, providing protection against fungal diseases both inside and outside the plant.
How much does the treatment cost? Fungicide treatments are scheduled 1x/month May-August and start at $75.00 for lawns up to 5000 sq ft; larger yards are slightly more.
