Often the center of the patch will recover, resulting in a doughnut-shaped pattern.

SUMMER PATCH DISEASE: Summer patch is most severe on sunny, exposed slopes or other very warm areas of a lawn such as those near walls, walks and driveways. Drought stress following warm and wet periods, and compacted soil are other factors that are associated with this disease.

ANTHRACNOSE: Rotting of the basal stem is the most prevalent symptom detected during cool, wet weather. Water-soaked stem lesions become dark in color and the leaf blades eventually yellow and die. Aeration is recommended to help allow fertilizer to absorb deep into the root system. Avoid mowing lawn too low and mow less frequently.

DOLLAR SPOT: Dollar spot disease of lawns usually appears in somewhat irregular circles 3 to 6 inches in diameter. It is most common in humid weather with warm days and cool nights.
