The development of discolored areas in turfgrass, specifically those appearing yellow, signals underlying issues affecting the plant’s health and vitality. These areas, often irregular in shape and distribution, can range in size from small spots to large, expansive sections of the lawn. Identifying the cause of such discoloration is crucial for implementing effective corrective measures and restoring the lawn’s aesthetic appeal and overall health.
Addressing these problems promptly is beneficial because a healthy lawn contributes to improved soil health, reduced erosion, and a cooler microclimate. Historically, various methods, from cultural practices to chemical treatments, have been employed to combat these issues, reflecting an ongoing effort to maintain desirable turfgrass conditions.
