Brown Patch is a nasty fungal disease that attacks Fescue lawns. This is a huge problem in areas that are humid in the summer.
Initially the disease appears as roughly circular, as in the picture above. Eventually, the patches may come together and take over large sections of the yard.
There are some plant protection products available at your local garden store that will control the disease for a short period of time. These are worth the effort if you have a particularly brutal case of disease or if you seeded your lawn in the last year.
Small cases will run their course and leave dead leaf tissue that is easily removed through mowing. Because it is a foliar disease, treatment is not always necessary, depending on your expectations for your lawn.
To avoid disease, water in the mornings to give the lawn time to dry out before nightfall.
