Protect Your Indiana Lawn from the Most Common Turf Threats
Indiana’s climate—characterized by warm, humid summers and cool, damp springs—creates ideal conditions for several turfgrass diseases to develop and spread. These diseases often start subtly but can quickly take over large areas of your lawn if left untreated. Understanding what to watch for is the first step in protecting your grass.
Here are some of the most common lawn diseases affecting Indiana lawns:
- Brown Patch: This fast-spreading disease thrives in hot, humid weather. It appears as circular, brown or tan patches of dead grass, typically in tall fescue or perennial ryegrass.
- Dollar Spot: Named for the silver dollar-sized spots it leaves behind, this disease causes small, sunken patches of bleached grass blades. It’s common in low-nitrogen lawns and spreads during warm, moist conditions.
- Red Thread: Often appearing in cool, wet weather, red thread causes patches of grass to look pink or red due to thread-like fungal growth on the grass tips. It primarily affects fine fescues, Kentucky bluegrass, and ryegrass.
- Snow Mold: This disease appears in early spring as circular patches of matted, moldy grass, usually following a heavy snowfall. There are two types—gray snow mold and pink snow mold—and both can damage turf that’s been covered for long periods.
- Leaf Spot/Melting Out: These related fungal diseases cause purplish or brown spots on individual grass blades, which may eventually die off in patches. They’re especially common during spring and early summer.
Lawn diseases in Indiana can emerge quickly, especially during periods of high humidity, poor drainage, or improper mowing practices. The key to protecting your lawn is early identification and prompt, professional treatment.
