Hello there ;-)
About 1.5 years ago, I installed a roll-out lawn that has established well.
At the beginning of July, I decided to aerate, overseed, and fertilize it a bit (I fertilize regularly).
I have always used a natural fertilizer from the company Schwab. However, for the last fertilizing, I used an NPK fertilizer from Eurogreen.
I aerated using the Einhell electric aerator.
Now, I have severe patchiness, partly white in color. I can't see any fungal growth.
In these areas, the grass leaves are also thinner than in the still (lush) green parts.
Here are some photos:

What happened here?
Overfertilized?
Incorrect overseeding with a less durable seed mix?
I would appreciate your assessment.

There are types of grass that develop shallow roots regardless of watering. I would rule out fertilizer damage. Otherwise, the grass wouldn’t turn green again after one or two waterings. Fertilizer damage means the grass is dead. I managed to cause that myself on two occasions last week.

Yes. Regular overseeding results in a good lawn. Or you might want to strengthen or establish different grass varieties. Where exactly are the extra seeds supposed to germinate if I already have a nice and, above all, dense rolled turf?
