Dollarspot

About Dollarspot

Small, circular patches of bleached or straw-colored turf are classic signs of dollar spot, a common turfgrass disease caused by the fungus Clarireedia jacksonii. It primarily attacks Kentucky bluegrass and creeping bentgrass in lawns throughout Middle Tennessee, including areas like Franklin and Brentwood, thriving in warm, humid conditions with low nitrogen levels. Proper fertilization and adequate watering can help reduce its severity and maintain a healthy lawn.

Dollarspot 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.

As lawn care and treatment specialists, we diagnose and treat Dollarspot regularly when servicing properties across the region. Early identification is the key to effective fungicide treatment and minimizing damage to your turf and landscape plants.
