Fungus Disease Killing Lawns Across Local Areas
Widespread dying of bluegrass lawns due to a fungus known as melting out. Early leaves show purple to brown spots, then irregular patches appear. Damp conditions between 70 and 95 degrees favor spread. Spores travel by wind, enabling rapid infection. Early treatment with fungicides Capton Phyon and Zine can control the outbreak.
