FAYETTEVILLE — With spring rains, warm-season turfgrasses such as bermudagrass and zoysiagrass are at risk of a fungal disease called large patch that can leave a lawn marked with large brown areas of dead and dying grass.

Large patch is caused by a fungus and affects warm-season turfgrasses, which go dormant in cooler months. This disease begins with small, round patches that can grow in diameter and are characterized by a yellow, orange or brown color as the affected grass dies. kAmp ?6H 2CE:4=6[ “#6G:6H @7 E96 3:@=@8J 2?5 >2?286>6?E @7 =2C86 A2E49 @7 H2C>\D62D@?
