The vast majority of turfgrass diseases are caused by fungi. Most fungi cause foliar diseases by attacking the leaves of the turfgrass. Others specifically attack the crowns or roots of turfgrass plants. Most fungi only grow within a specific temperature range and also require ample moisture.

The symptoms of summer patch appear in circular patches or rings, ranging from 6 inches to 3 feet in diameter.

LAWN DISEASES
Fungicides can be used to control turfgrass diseases. Fungicide applications may be preventive, if made before symptoms of the disease appear, or curative, if made after symptoms appear. LAWN WEEDS - THE LAWN INSTITUTE Ever wonder what those pesky little weeds are in your lawn? Weeds, like all plants, require certain elements such as light, water, oxygen, carbon, etc. to grow, but some species can actually thrive where other plants may not.

The hardiness of grasses can also be seen in perennial lawns and ornamental grasses used in urban and suburban landscapes. Their uniform ground cover and fibrous root system make them ideal for use when it comes to providing ground cover, erosion control, rainwater capture, topsoil remediation, soil arthropod and microbial habitats,and more.

Picnics, star gazing and walking barefoot in the grass. Throughout many of life’s moments, lawns have been in the backdrop almost unnoticed, yet an essential element to each instance. They produce fresh oxygen for the air we breathe and cool the environment around our homes and urban centers. They provide a vital habitat for insects, plants and the birds that feed on them, as well as protection from soil erosion and filtering of urban pollutants. Beyond the environmental benefits, lawns offer a safe place for our kids to play and entire families to enjoy, offering a source of pride and value forhomeowners.
The Lawn Institute wants to be a part of your journey by providing scientific, fact-based information on the value and management of lawns while at the same time funding academic research to advance the industry. Let’s leverage these delightful moments with the many environmental benefits that lawns contribute to urban and suburban environments worldwide.SCIENCE
