Hey guys, this is Taylor here to give you the Saratoga Springs Lawn Fertilization Tip of the Week. I was out running some errands today, and I came across this lawn and I wanted to show you it. This is a really, really bad case of necrotic ring. Normally, it’s not going to be this bad, but this is something that you need to watch out for in our area. Typically, you’ll have just a little cluster of them. This, it goes across this whole front right here, but this is a fungus. Again, it’s called necrotic ring. This is not going to go away by itself. It’ll keep coming up year after year, and you’re always going to have these circles.

This is something that you’re going to need to put a fungicide down, to make sure that this goes into dormancy. It’s something that you’re going to have to stay on top of every single year. You’re going to have to do two applications of that fungicide, and that’ll help it to go into dormancy. Another tip, if you do have this. This is something that you if you have, you do not want to aerate. If you have, say, a little cluster right here, and then you aerate, that spreads it, and so then it’ll go all across your whole lawn. Make sure that you do not do aeration if you have issues with necrotic ring. Hopefully this tip helped, and if you have any questions about necrotic or Saratoga Springs Lawn Fertilization, give us a call. Thanks. Bye.
