Got Brown Spots???
It is common for Kentucky Blue Grass lawns to develop patches of brown areas during hot summer months when our air temperatures start climbing to 80+ degrees. These brown patches are frequently the result of a common lawn leaf blight called ASCOCHYTA. Ascochyta plagues Kentucky Blue Grass when the temperature of the soil is not regulated.
The best way to combat the leaf blight of Ascochyta is to regulate your turf soil temperature by adding a mid afternoon watering cycle to your watering regimen. On days when the temperature is expected to reach 80+ degrees, we encourage you to water for a period of time where the water can soak in to a depth of 3 inches. Adherence to this change in watering practices, during our hot summer months, can go a long way in helping your Kentucky Blue Grass to overcome Ascochyta infiltrations.

Aeration: Yearly Aerating your lawn can improve soil drainage by reducing soil compaction and allowing water and nutrients to better penetrate your soil. For those with super compact soils you might consider a spring and fall aeration.
Watering: Deep and infrequent watering is essential for strong plant health and development. We encourage watering each area of your lawn for 30-45 minutes per zone 2 to 4 times per week...depending on wind, rain, temperature, and soil conditions. During hot summer months when the temperatures soar to the high 80's, we recommend adding a late afternoon quick water (15-20 minutes per zone) to cool down the temperature of your soil and fight off Ascochyta infestations. Kentucky Blue Grass lawns like to have cooler soil temperatures.
Mowing: We recommend keeping your lawn mowed to a height of 2 ½ to 3 ½ inches high. During the hot summer months it is best to keep your grass at the longer height, and even mowed up to 4 inches.
