Brown patch fungus is a fungus that attacks lawns, primarily fescue lawns, though not limited to fescue lawns.
When the temperature increases, and when the humidity increases(to a sticky feel), brown patch rears its ugly head by creating brown circular areas in your lawn. And often right in the center of the circle, you will notice a small area of green foliage. What I call the donut effect.
Fungus season in the south is usually from the first of May to mid-August.
The most effective way to treat is to spray a fungicide before you see the fungus, for once you’ve applied the fungicide, it “arrests” and keeps it from metastasizing(an once of prevention is worth a pound of cure).
When you begin to treat, you need treat brown patch three to four times during fungus season for best results.
