Leaf Smut

Usually occurs in cool weather (50 — 60) and usually effects bluegrass, sometimes fine fescue and perennial rye. Infected plants die when weather heats up. Excess water and fertilization encourages growth.

Prevention

Difficult to control. Treat with a systemic fungicide in October or early March. Water thoroughly after application.

Treatment

Avoid overwatering, reduce thatch.
