Comments (10)One more test you can do is drag your fingers though it like you are trying to comb it. See if you detect "runners" called stolons. If so, I'd be pretty confident that it is poa trivialis. It's unusual for it to be spread out in patches like you have, but that might occur if the lawn has been aerated or verticut/thatched. If it is triv, the only thing that has worked for me is to cut it out and patch with sod. Maybe others have a different diagnosis or better remedy....See MoreTwo-tone brown spots all over leaf and some edges gone
Comments (2)Danny Clark, I do not know the plant well enough to be specific; but the evidence (about 400 plants) suggests an intensive operation. It is easy for a fungus (my guess) to proliferate under such conditions. That you have had to cull 50 plants indicates an infection that has taken hold. My suggestion is to positively identify the causative organism; separate the remaining plants into 3 well defined areas. Space them adequately to facilitate air circulation. Classify them as "Good" "Going" and "Gone". Obtain a chemical (I cannot think of an alternative) which targets the pathogen/pest and,as a bonus, also lists the site (Boxwood) on the label. Apply to all three groups at the curative rate. Thereafter, apply at varying intervals to each group. The worst affected group can be treated at the shortest interval; and the "Good" group at the longest interval. Observe at weekly (at the very least) intervals; shift plants from one group to another as you see appropriate; and cull - ruthlessly! I wish you luck - sincerely! Because I know from experience, that you will need some of that also....See Moregrass has brown spots all over

Comments (3)Check it for chinch bugs? I just had an outbreak of round borwn spots that grew and it turned out to be chinch bugs. It was in sod installed last fall. Bummer. It was treated with Talstar and is now starting to green up a bit....See MoreHU-910976734
