Literally in the span of 2 or 3 days, I went from this:
to this:
I have been mowing it lower than I will for summer (2.5") because I overseeded the area, and it was standing up fine previously.
.The only thing I can think is that a family of deer (we have a whole herd of them in the neighborhood) or something decided to sleep on the grass overnight during/after a rainstorm (which we've had), but it doesn't seem to have been hot enough to really cause fungal issues here? (NC/Piedmont/7B)
I went ahead and did an application of Clearys 336F (worked last year on some fungal stuff) as a preventative/treat whatever's there, will rotate in axozy/other stuff.. tried to use the leafblower to stand the grass up/get some air in there, but not sure how effective that is. We're also getting almost an inch of rain today, which means things probably won't dry out for another 2-3 days..
This happened in the same area as last year, it's definitely a more shady area -- but it just looks like some of the grass is yellowing and dying off. See this pic:
Could it be all of the new stuff from my overseed this spring? It's not happening everywhere..
