What is Fusarium
Fusarium is a fungus which, although harmless, causes patches of discolouration and bare patches in lawns. When fusarium first appears in a lawn, you may notice small, brown spots which rapidly spread and leave behind dead patches of grass.
This fungal disease is most often noticed in Autumn, usually October onwards but also in the Spring.
How to Treat Fusarium
You no longer need a specialist to come out and treat this problem, Bayer Garden launched a product called Lawn Disease Control this year which is a systemic lawn fungicide.
Lawn disease control, when mixed with water, can be sprayed onto the lawn to combat fungal diseases that can cause discolouration and bare patches. Although the product can be used all year round, it should not be applied more than twice per year with a gap of at least 4 weeks between applications.
One box covers an area of 60 sq m.
