Common Plant & Lawn Diseases Found in Our Area & the Damage They Cause

There are a number of plant and lawn diseases that can devastate your yard. One of the most troubling in our area is a soil-based fungus called necrotic ring spot, which causes ring-shaped damage to your lawn. We have specific treatments for ring spot in the month of May, which relieves your lawn of existing spots and prevents future damage.

It’s important to catch these diseases early and to allow us to treat for them aggressively to prevent further damage.

Other common plant diseases and fungi that we treat in our area include:

• Red Thread - Forms in undernourished grass in cool wet conditions (Spring/Fall). Causes thin, red strands that sprout from grass blades.
• Rhizoctonia - Affects cool-season grasses during warm, humid weather. Causes “brown patch,” and is treated with anti-fungus and fertilizer treatments.
• Melting Out - Caused by a fungal pathogen called “Dreschlera poae” during the months of April and May. Leads to black or purple spots on grass blades.
• Pine Needle Scale - Caused by a small armored scale called "Chionaspis pinifoia" that is attracted to the sugars in some evergreen trees. Can cause death of the needles and over time, the tree itself.
• Shot Hole Fungus - This is also known as Coryneum blight and is usually found in fruit trees as well as some flowering trees. It affects the tree's ability to produce fruit.
