Is Springtime Bringing Unwanted Dead Patches to Your Beautiful Bermudagrass Lawn? Introducing the Spring Dead Spot Mitigation Plan from Newell Services, LLC!

Large patch is a sporadic disease that affects warm-season turfgrasses such as hybrid bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, and St. Augustinegrass in Oklahoma. It is most noticeable in early spring and sometimes in the fall, but may not always result in visible symptoms.

Dollar spot is a common foliar disease that affects most types of turfgrasses throughout Oklahoma. It's particularly severe in residential lawns with low nitrogen fertility and on bentgrass golf greens. The disease is most prevalent during late spring and early fall, when high humidity and cool nights lead to the formation of dew that stays on turfgrasses for extended periods.

Brown patch disease is common in Oklahoma turfgrasses and can lead to browning of leaves. It's worsened by poor drainage, overwatering, and high nitrogen levels. To reduce the risk, use proper fertilizer, minimize leaf wetness, and use fungicides when needed.
