Among the grasses that are most susceptible to infection are annual bluegrass, Kentucky bluegrass and fine fescues. Although much less common, older varieties of creeping bentgrass can also develop symptoms of summer patch. Initial infection will typically begin as soil temperatures rise above 18 °C during late spring. Peak symptom expression is most commonly observed under hot summer temperatures and extended periods of plant stress.

No matter what kind of turf problems you’re up against, Envu has a full range of solutions to help you take control and maintain it.
