What is ’Brown Patch Disease’?

What exactly is brown patch disease, & how can you identify it on your lawn? Brown patch is a common lawn disease caused by the Rhizoctonia fungus. It thrives in warm, humid conditions, making it a prevalent issue during the summer months. One of the key symptoms of brown patch is circular or irregularly shaped patches of brown or yellow grass that can range from a few inches to several feet in diameter. The affected grass may also have a dark, water-soaked appearance at the base, which can help distinguish it from other lawn issues.
