Dollar Spot
On closely cut turf like golf courses, the dollar spot appears as circular, brown to light-brown embedded spots about the size of a silver dollar. In coarser grasses like St. Augustine, maintained at taller cutting heights, the dead spots are larger approximately 2-3 inches in diameter. Dollar spot can be distinguished by lesions on the leaf blades along the borders of infected areas. The lesions are typically gray or brown int he center with reddish-brown borders. The best way to correct this problem is fertilization and proper irrigation. Please call for a free estimate!
