Hello. Anyone has idea is this a fungus in lawn?Also what type of grass is this? (As per google its kikuyu)
There are dried patches. I am watering 3 times but not recovering. Also I did the soap test for armyworm and cricket (I can hear at night time) but I noticed only several spiders and centipedes came out. Appreciated if someone can advise how to cure it.
Hi @kashifrana,
I do not see anything that would point to a fungus being present and causing damage to your lawn. Fungus tends to develop in lawns that are not well-draining. You will tend to see blackened or yellow splotches on the leaf blades when a fungus is present.
How often are you watering? One long soak once every 2-3 days should be enough at this time of the year.
The grass looks to be Kikuyu. I'd recommend you aerate the lawn, spread a 10mm layer of top dressing over it, ensuring you don't cover the blades entirely, and then re-seed with lawn seed.
Here's a helpful guide: How to take care of your lawn.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Mitchell
