Pycnidia

About Pycnidia

Tiny, flask-shaped fruiting bodies known as pycnidia produce spores in various fungal diseases affecting turfgrass and ornamental plants common in Middle Tennessee areas like Franklin and Brentwood. These structures often appear as dark, raised dots on infected leaves or stems, promoting the spread of pathogens under warm, moist conditions. Proper lawn care and timely fungicide applications can help manage diseases associated with pycnidia.

Pycnidia 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.
