I've seen this: orange grass.
I googled it, and apparently it's "rust".
Trying to think of what might be different this year to cause it.
Only thing I can come up with is that we let the grass grow a little
taller this year before mowing. We live out in the country and have
about 2 acres to mow.
Anybody have any experience with this?
Fungal disease most common in drought-stressed turfgrass that is poorly
mowed and poorly fertilized. Don't remove more than 20%-30% of the
blade length per mowing, and get your soil tested. Bet you need some N.
