Envu Solutions – Brown Patch

Brown patch can be a severe foliar disease of almost every cool-season turfgrass grown for putting greens, fairways, tees, and roughs. This disease is caused by the soil-borne fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani. Rhizoctonia diseases are perhaps the most widely recognized plant-pathogenic species across the globe and incites diseases on a wide host range including agricultural crops, trees, ornamental plants, and turfgrasses. The most susceptible grasses to infection include the bentgrasses, fescues, ryegrasses, and low-mown bluegrasses.
