Necrotic ring spot (also known as frog eye disease) is a fungal disease that often affects cool-season grasses, which are commonly found here in Wisconsin. This disease is characterized by the donut-shaped rings it forms on your lawn; it can also kill your grass if left untreated. There are a few things you could be doing to your lawn that have led to it becoming infected with necrotic ring spot, such as overwatering it, mowing it incorrectly, and overusing quick-release nitrogen fertilizer. Continue reading to learn more about how these 3 things can cause necrotic ring spot to form on your lawn.
Another way you could be encouraging necrotic ring spot to infect your lawn is by using too much quick-release nitrogen fertilizer. While nitrogen-heavy fertilizers do make your lawn look green and aesthetically pleasing very quickly, they also weaken your turf. This is because too much nitrogen strips your lawn of its natural defenses and makes it much more susceptible to diseases like necrotic ring spot. Instead of fertilizing your lawn with quick-release nitrogen fertilizers, opt for fertilizer with a lower amount of nitrogen. This type of fertilizer will still provide your lawn with the nutrients it needs, but you won’t put your lawn at risk of being damaged from a fertilizer that has too high of a concentration of nitrogen.
