How to Deal with Spring Dead Spot in Bermudagrass

One of the most noticeable and destructive diseases of bermudagrass is known as Spring Dead Spot (SDS). The disease was first described in a publication in Oklahoma in 1960. It is thought to have been present in Oklahoma since 1936. Since that time, Spring Dead Spot has been observed in most states where bermudagrass is grown. The prevalence and severity of the disease has been increasing for several years and it may be the most destructive disease of bermudagrass in some states. In Texas, Spring Dead Spot has been observed in all areas except extreme South Texas. The disease has been particularly severe in North Texas and the Texas Panhandle.

But once they take hold–particularly in states across the southern rim of the nation–their numbers can explode. These sneaky pests hide beneath the surface of your lawn by day, emerging only at night to gnaw on blades of grass. If your grass looks brown or blighted, you should test to see if armyworms have set up summer quarters in your lawn.
