The DIFFERENCE between HEAT STRESS and Lawn Fungus

This video is going to help you determine the difference between HEAT STRESS and FUNGUS. Often times people get HEAT STRESS and FUNGUS confused just because they leave brown spots in your lawn. When the summer heat arrives, these are the two things that can reside in your lawn. The good thing about this video is I'm going to help you see the difference between the two. The way that you can tell is FUNGUS has lesions on the blades or it may have mycelium on the grass in the mornings. The grass blades for HEAT STRESS curl up as thin as the straws on a broom stick and it doesn't have any lesions/spots on the grass blades. I also give you information in this video on how you can correct these issues if you see them in your lawn. I hope this video helps you in your lawn journey. Thank you for watching and have a blessed day.
Thank you for your support,
Be Blessed

[@TheCureThatKillz]

Great video. Earned a sub for sure. I have been trying to diagnose an issue where the lower part of my grass blades are brown/yellow and the upper section of the blade is green. It’s very frustrating. My grass looks nice and green but had a yellow/brown hue to it because of the grass color down below. Any suggestions on what I might be dealing with?

[@PoloFieldsLawnService]

Thank you 👍🏾 What type of grass do you have and Is your grass like this all year around or just in the summer?

[@PoloFieldsLawnService]

@briand27 Hello Brian and The cure that killz, don't worry about it. That's natural since your cutting it high at 3.5 Inches. The top blades are getting more sunlight than the bottom so its naturally gonna be brown. In the spring time when the grass is growing at 100 miles an hr, it may look different. Now if it had any spots on it or resembled something close to a fungus, then I would tell you to dethatch because you could have a fungus recycling in your thatch layer each year. Now if you cut it lower, the sun wouldn't have a problem getting to the lower parts of the plant. But I wouldn't worry about Sir. Hope this helps

[@go_venture7512]

Awesome info, will brown patch or heat stress recover ?

[@PoloFieldsLawnService]

Yes Sirrrr, Heat Stress will recover with Consistent water. Brown Patch will recover with a fungicide.

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

Good information. I had a lawn test last year and I have a problem with grey leaf spot, and brown patch. I have tttf in the transition zone. When should I start applying a fungicide? Is Propiconazole 14.3 and Headway G fungicide the best treatment? Thank you John

[@PoloFieldsLawnService]

Depends on when you normally get hit with a fungus. We normally see fungus around the middle of May so I start with my applications at the beginning of May. I would use Cleary's 3336 to get rid the the brown patch and Leaf spot. You can use Headway and Propiconizole but thats what I would do. If that's all that you have, put down your headway BEFORE you get hit with a fungus. Water it in, wait 20-25 days before reapplying. Same with Propiconizole

so i have some heat stressed grass by your definition but it's nice size patches of it but grass is not sticking up - it's a bit matted in my view - is it salvageable ?

[@PoloFieldsLawnService]

If the blades are thin with NO SPOTS on them, it's heat stressed. Stand those blades up by raking it and give it some water. It will turn back green with water. Now, if it has spots on the grass blades, don't give it any water. You need a fungicide. Stay tuned because I have a video coming out soon that talks all about heat stress. Hope this helps 🙏🏾

[@PoloFieldsLawnService]

Hello Selina, no need to worry about the mushrooms. Sometimes mushrooms pop up where trees USE to be. A lawn that is water logged has a soggy look to it. You wouldn't want that because a fungus will follow, and the tips of your new grass are brown? Are you in a drought like how we are? This could be the reason for the tips.

We have had some warm days since mid May. I even got a sunburn last weekend. I have been watering every 2nd day since it warmed up. 🤣

[@PoloFieldsLawnService]

@selinaserenelli153 Question: Why are you watering every 2 days? It's weird that your lawn doesn't have frost on it in the morning, and you're below freezing.

[@bitTorrenter]

Heat Stress? Isn't watering the lawn continuously until it comes back healthy going to be quite costly if you on a water meter?

[@PoloFieldsLawnService]

You do have to give your lawn water, but you don't have to bomb it with water to the point that you're making your water bill high. Remember, you need at least an inch of water per week( or close to it) to maintain that green color in your lawn. That inch can come from your sprinklers or from rain. Bottom line: If you don't water it, it'll turn brown and then bounce back when cooler Temps cycle back around. The question is, depending on where you live and if you have a cool season lawn, can you live with a brown lawn for 3-4 months, or however long it's hot in your area?

[@brodygoalie]

I always apply fungus control in June and July before fungus can happen. Same with grub control. Need to use as a preventative correct?? I also use YM stress blend granule fertilizer

[@PoloFieldsLawnService]

You're on it. It's best if you prevent fungus vs.correcting it. It also depends on where you live. Our pressure where I live normally hits us in May.

[@brodygoalie]

@@PoloFieldsLawnService I am in Boston area so my first application in mid June then second application mid July. Grub control is first week of June. Pre emergent in mid April. We have kicked out in Boston area. It has Rained every week. Have not had to use sprinkler system this season. Last season 2022 just the opposite. We had no rain at all very little. My water bill was through the roof last year. This year free water!!

[@PoloFieldsLawnService]

@brodygoalie It's been the same down here. I haven't had to use much water at all. We've been receiving a lot of rain each week up until now, which is normally our dry period of the year. But of course, dealing with fungus is an ongoing battle between May and October.

[@kolbywilliams9302]

What’s it mean if I put down fungicide and some brown patches are turn green however now weeds are appearing that weren’t there before

[@PoloFieldsLawnService]

That means that the grass that was there is dead, and summer weeds are starting to grow in its place. Pull those weeds up and throw some seeds in those areas in the fall

[@vashon100]

5:04 Those blades look to be "needling up" (ie thin) too and I don't see any blade spots, but I believe you are indicating that is from fungus. The criteria sounds easy to apply but it doesn't look that simple. Too bad you didn't take that example at 5:04 to show a closeup of the blade spots, cuz I don't see any.

[@PoloFieldsLawnService]

Hello Vashon, that particular part of the video, I was specifically talking about fungus. If you rewind it, I was giving you different ways there would be a tell tell sign of a fungus. There will be some mycelium on the blades, spots on the blades, or the brown spots would be in a circle. In that part of the video, there were several brown spots in a circle. If it's damage from heat stress, the brown spots will be in irregular patterns, not perfectly shaped circles. Hope I explained it better for you to understand.

[@vashon100]

[@brodygoalie]

To me it's just simple. Apply fungus control before early June then reapply in early July. You have to prevent the situation. Same with grub Control. Plus you need to water your lawn each week if there is no rain. One inch per week. Am I spot on? Cheers

[@PoloFieldsLawnService]

SPOT ON BRODYGOALIE. It also depends on when you get disease pressure in your neck of the woods. Here it's NORMALLY around the first week in May. But generally speaking your spot on brother 👍🏾

[@brodygoalie]

@@PoloFieldsLawnService concerning fungus control. Do you prefer liquid sprayer or granular?? I assume the liquid sprayer is easier plus no concern of watering in the fungus control if you are using the liquid sprayer kind like Bayer bio advanced . Correct? The only concern I have with spraying is knowing that you be applied evenly on the lawn. But not having to be concerned using a rotary spreader is a good thing? Thanks for your help

[@PoloFieldsLawnService]

@@brodygoalie I prefer a spray over a granular. If a fungus is active, the spray will hit it immediately vs a granular will have to be watered in and travel through the roots and up the crown of the plant before it circulates throughout the plant. Granulars are as effective as foliar, they just need to be applied BEFORE( as a preventative) the disease pressure arrives. You are right about the bio advanced as far as watering it in and don't worry if it's being applied evenly. Trust me, it's getting on that grass as long as you wet your entire lawn. DON'T RUSH though and watch the formula on the side of the bio advanced bottle to make sure your not running out before needed 👍🏾

[@denplecondolon9059]

Any recommendations for someone in Canada? Hard to find here

[@denplecondolon9059]

For fungicide, thanks

[@PoloFieldsLawnService]

Hello Denple, not at this moment but I will check around 😉

[@chrissmith4793]

If you are using azoxystrobin and propaconazole and don't have any fungus how much of each would you use for a 22,000sq ft yard? I'm only asking so I know what to use this summer. Thank you!

[@PoloFieldsLawnService]

Hello Craig, My first question to you is have you ever dealt with fungus in your lawn before? If not, I don't recommend that you just start purchasing these products and putting them down on your lawn and you've never seen or had to battle with fungus. No need in spending your hard earned money on products for symptoms that you don't deal with if you understand what I mean. If you do deal with fungus, most fungus is going to require different rates depending on which one that you have in your lawn so make sure that you identify what fungus it is before you apply. When using any fungicide, it's best to treat it as a PREVENTATIVE so you would go down with the low rate when conditions are favorable. So for example, if you deal with Brown Patch, the low rate for Propiconizole 14.3 is 1oz per 1,000. For Azoxystrobin, the low rate is 0.38oz per 1,000. Now remember, different fungus may require different rates so read the label FIRST so you will know which rate to apply. I know this is a loaded answer but I hope this helps 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Hey bro have you ever used Scott’s Disease X when fungus is starting to form? Any feedback on that product?

[@PoloFieldsLawnService]

Scott's Disease X is a good product but should be used in a preventative manner. Put this down BEFORE the fungus gets in your lawn. Don't wait until you see the fungus.

@@PoloFieldsLawnService Mine is starting to form in multiple areas of the lawn so that is want I’m wanting to use. I live in Oregon. First time this has ever happened so I’m lost. If I put some down it doesn’t harm the grass if for some reason it isn’t fungus does it?

[@PoloFieldsLawnService]

@@thugnasty5242 No Sir, it won't harm the grass. Since your getting it from the store, use the Bio advanced and Scott's Disease X. Put both if them down. I'll have a video coming out this Sunday going into more details

@@PoloFieldsLawnService Appreciate your feedback! I’m going to put it down shortly.

@@PoloFieldsLawnService Hey man back again with another question! I put down Scott’s Disease X about 15 days ago and the fungus seems to stop spreading but the areas that it had already hit turned into dead looking patches of grass. Can over-seeding fix this?

[@bellpepperqueen]

I believe my lawn is heat stress been watering twice a day for the past two months. It’s still brown😞 what would you suggest?

[@PoloFieldsLawnService]

First, do you know what type of grass that you have? Second, how long are you watering? Third, the grass that your watering, does it look dead (brown) or is it still green with spots on the grass? blades?

[@bellpepperqueen]

Don’t know the grass type. I water between 15-20 minutes and it’s hay brown
