Brown Patch

About Brown Patch

Brown Patch is a common turf disease in Middle Tennessee lawns, including areas like Franklin and Brentwood, caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani. It appears as circular brown patches of dead grass that expand rapidly under warm, humid conditions, especially after heavy rainfall. This disease primarily affects cool-season grasses like tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass, leading to unsightly damage and weakened turf if not properly managed.

Brown Patch is a lawn or landscape disease commonly found in Middle Tennessee, including Columbia, Thompson's Station, Spring Hill, and the surrounding areas. This entry is part of our Disease Identification Library.
