The Birth Of Fungus
Some fungus spores germinate in the soil (soil-borne) and attacks the roots, while other fungus are air-borne, which moves with the wind, while effecting plants above the ground. Once turf or other plants are infected, the disease can move by mechanical equipments, animals and even humans walking across the turf. A fungus can survive unfavorable periods as dormant single cell organism waiting for the right conditions to grow. Once conditions are favorable (temperature, water and host plant) the dormant fungi resumes growth from the infected leaves to nearby healthy leaves, causing new infections. Mycelium (cottony growth) moves rapidly through and on the plants.

The Battle Begins Plant VS Disease
Once plants are infected, the plant will deteriorate rapidly unless action to prevent further infections are taken. Using preventive actions before the fungus starts in and on the plant is the best means of control. However, we generally treat the infected plants (turf, flowers and shrubs) after spotting the infection on our customers’ property.

Environmental conditions must be favorable to begin germinating the spores and bringing about conditions that are favorable for treatments. Soil borne disease generally occurs when the daytime temperature combined with a nighttime temperature added together reach a total of 150 degrees (F) or more. At this time the perfect breeding ground for soil fungal spores begins to grow. When air temperature reaches above 83 degrees (F) foliar diseases become a problem for most turf, shrubs and trees. Combine these temperatures with frequent daytime showers, warm nights, with dew forming on the leaves and it’s a perfect storm to fuel the spread of these fungal spores.

Burrow structure varies according to species, but generally there is a vertical main tunnel with side tunnels branching off from it, each terminating in a single egg cell.

Nesting females attract large numbers of males that fly around the same spot for several days in a mating display. If you look closely you’ll see individual golden-gray bees emerging from the earthen tunnels in your lawn.

Ground bees hatch from the ground in spring and go about their business, pollinating flowers and vegetables. They are not aggressive and rarely sting, even if you stand in the middle of a newly hatched bunch of buzzers.

No control is necessary. If the mounds are objectionable, wash them away with a garden hose.
