No, the brown patch cannot be cured as such. Instead, we can control and prevent the fungus from returning your grass to its former glory! There is a range of methods you can try, either on their own or with one another.
A fungicide can help to get rid of brown patch fungus. These are best for high-value ryegrass and bentgrass turf blends, while most lawns will revolver without chemical treatments. Spray your fungicide as soon as symptoms appear in hot and humid environments (we will cover the best fungicides shortly).
To prevent brown patch fungus and stop it from reappearing once treated, reseed your lawn with resistant grass cultivars. These feature a moderate resistance to the Rhizoctonia fungus found in brown patch fungus. If your grass is prone to fungus, this can be an excellent solution!
Avoiding over-fertilizing or fertilizing your grass during hot and humid conditions is the best way to prevent brown patch fungus from infecting your grass. Improving the air circulation and watering the grass only when needed will also help prevent the fungus from rearing its ugly head again!
