Spring Dead Spot in Bermuda Turf 🌱⚠️
Seeing circular brown patches that won’t green up in your Bermuda lawn? That could be Spring Dead Spot — a fungal disease that damages the roots and stolons during winter dormancy and shows up when the turf should be waking up in spring.
Common signs include:
• Circular dead patches
• Thin or delayed green-up
• Sunken or straw-colored turf
• Weak roots and poor recovery
Spring Dead Spot is usually caused by stress going into winter, poor drainage, soil compaction, or lack of balanced fertility. Recovery can be slow without proper turf management.
