Fungus in the lawn

Post by Hayats »

I have a rear lawn which doesn't get direct sun during winter. Weeds grow significantly during winter but this time I am seeing fungus growing at an alarming rate. I have attached few pictures, please guide on what to be done.

Fungus grows from over watering. Water the grass when the soil has dried.

Since the lawn doesn't get direct sun light during winter so it remains wet after rains. I noticed this growth after the last rain fall. This lawn has korean grass but it is not that thick probably because the soil condition is not very healthy. I will ensure that no watering is done till it becomes dry but is there any other way of reducing fungus like medicine, fertilizer etc.

Maybe I would prefer not to use fungicide on grass as I have listened that it is of not that help. For good grass sunlight is necessary but if this is a problem than apply some DAP granules over the grass. May Help.
