If you're wondering how to identify Fusarium and what Fusarium looks like, then you're in the right place! In this blog, we'll take a look at the characteristics and features of Fusarium so you can spot it before it damages your lawn beyond repair.

Fusarium patch disease is a fungal disease caused by the fungus Microdochium nivale. Fusarium can occur at any time of year, but it is more common during the autumn period, and if left untreated, throughout the winter months as well.

Fusarium disease is usually a result of damp and unfavourable conditions in your lawn which can be caused by all manner of issues, including excess shade caused by bracken or thatch build up, poor drainage caused by lawn compaction, or heavy rainfall.
