Powdery Mildew Symptoms:
- First appears on the leaves as individual tufts of fine, white mycelium.
- The tufts enlarge and coalesce, causing the leaves to have grayish-white or powdery appearance.
- Severely infected grass turns yellow, then tan and brown in color.
- Stressed turf that is severely infected can die.
- Severely infected turf, especially in shaded areas, can become thinned.

- High amounts of nitrogen and low mowing height.
