Fusarium Patch

Fusarium patch, also known as Microdochium patch, is a fungal disease that affects cool-season turfgrasses, causing circular, reddish-brown patches on the turf. It thrives in cool, wet conditions, particularly in late fall, winter, or early spring. Fusarium patch can weaken turf health and aesthetics if not managed through proper cultural practices, fungicide applications, and improved drainage.
