Dollar Spot

I’ve had dollar spot on my lawn for the past couple of seasons.

Last Fall, I had Scotts aerate my lawn (as suggested by them) to rid the turf disease. Following, they applied fertilizer, and overseeded.

This worked for the rest of the season, but this summer, I am seeing a relapse of dollar spot. I just had my lawn aerated again today, and just fertilized.

In order to prevent this disease from showing up next season, what further measures should I take?

Any help appreciated.

Seed a dollar spot resistant grass with your present lawn- and/or use high potassium fertilizers……. also spray liquid iron during periods dollar spot is most likely to occur. If you have bent grass, apply systemic fungicide every 6 weeks.
