What is causing my grass to burn out?

Question: I’m wondering what is causing this to happen to my grass.  I did put down (twice) bug killer and (twice) a fungicide.  Any idea?

response: Is this grass in full sun? Do you know what kind of grass it is? Some grasses do well in shade and burn in full sun. I lost a tree and the shade loving grass did what you are looking at. I seeded in full sun grass and it is doing fine. Many lawns look poor this time of year due to lack of water.

response: Thank you for responding.  The grass is in sunshine most of the day.  It always has been.  I have an irrigation system so it gets water.  The grasses are blue grass, Bermuda and bentgrass I believe.  I work hard to have a nice lawn, which I enjoy doing.  This situation has me frustrated.  I wish there was a company that would come to my house and look at my yard and give me advice as to what I need to do to accomplish what I want my yard to look like.  I would gladly pay for this advice.  The yard care companies want to do the work themselves, I enjoy working in my yard.

response: Bent grass is probably the cause. My bent grass looks exactly the same. Fall weather and water and it hopefully will recover/ Blue grass is also a problem in dry weather and heat but you are watering. You might want to over seed the bent grass but bent grass will take over from blue.

response: i am sure a lawn service would look at it, but i might suggest the OSU extension office where u live and ask them for referrals.

response: What should I use to overseed the benthrass with?  I live about 5 blocks from the extension service at OSU.  Should I stop over there to get information?Sent from my iPhone On Aug 22, 2024, at 4:26 PM, Ask Extension wrote:﻿

response: i use tall fescue that blends in well with blues and also does well in shade or sun. Would not hurt to talk with extension office. Good people.

response: i was listening to OSU profs today and they said Tall fescue is no one selling grass seed in Ohio. They also said hold off seeding until the temps cool, meaning don;t seed while the temps are in the 90's. Try to make sure your seed has soil contact. Also, some areas of Ohio may experience fall army worms so be on the look out. May be a late fall arrival. Second time in last three years. Good luck.
