2 Reasons Why Your Lawn Turns Yellow: It's Easier to Prevent Than to Fix

Everything that grows in a summer cottage has the ability to get sick or otherwise deteriorate, losing its former qualities.

When trees, bushes or small plants get sick, no one is surprised. But when lawn grass gets sick, summer residents are perplexed.

Here are two common diseases that affect lawn grass, but not everyone knows about them.

Powdery mildew

This disease itself is not new and is familiar to anyone who has ever worked with seedlings or in a flower garden. But as for the lawn, when affected by the disease, it changes color, namely, turns yellow.

The reasons should be sought in improper care, which leads to the dominance of fungal and infectious diseases.

If you notice that the grass is covered with a white coating and soon dries up, remember what and when you fed the lawn. Perhaps the reason is an overdose of nitrogen.

You can try to save the lawn with Bordeaux mixture or another fungicide, but the diseased grass needs to be removed.

Rust

If your lawn lacks sunlight, then with other accompanying factors, you can safely blame it on rust. You can fix the situation if you try to add nitrophoska or urea, but only after the lawn has been mowed, cleaned and watered.
