Title: Powdery Mildew in Lawns
Summary: Powdery mildew is a fungal disease that occurs most commonly on the cool-season grasses such as bluegrasses
and fescues. The fungus is usually first seen as isolated wefts of fine, gray-white cobwebby growth
on the upper surface of the leaves. This growth rapidly becomes more dense, and may cover the entire leaf,
giving it a gray-white appearance. In cases of severe outbreaks, entire sections of lawn may be dull white,
rather than green.
