Fusarium Patch

Sometimes referred to as snow mould or microdochium patch, Fusarium Patch is a disease in turf grass that causes small reddish-brown spots 1-2 centimetres in diameter on the lawn. It is caused by a fungus that attacks fine turf and generally affects cold season grasses. Following persistent cool, wet weather, new patches may spread. As such, it is important to treat Fusarium Patch before the issue worsens.
