This is called a "burn-out." The grass cannot handle the excess fertilizer because it now acts like a poison and will die. It's just like if you take too much aspirin for a headache, you can overdose and die. Too much of anything can be bad for any organism.

If a lawn is fertilized and not watered the grass often dies Why?
ANSWER:If you took vitamins only and drink water, what would happen? You would die. Your body and the grass needs water to survive. Water is the most basic need other than oxygen, or carbon dioxide in the case of plants. The other problem is if you add fertilizer to a plant, it needs water to transfer it to its cells. Without this delivery device, the fertilizer is useless and can actually harm the plant instead of helping it.
