What does it look like?
This disease appears as large patches up to 10 feet in diameter. Its odds of appearing increase when your mowing height is too low, 1 inch or lower, and during cool, wet falls and springs.
When is a lawn susceptible?
A combination of low mowing height and cool, rainy periods are ideal for Zoysia patch. The Meyer variety is particularly susceptible, as are poorly drained areas of any lawn.
How can we get rid of it?
First, increase your mowing height to reduce disease progress. The return of warm weather will cause growth of Zoysia grass, which will slow symptoms. You should also eliminate thatch and core cultivate to improve aeration and general soil conditions. And don't apply nitrogen until this disease has run its course.
