For anyone that has St. Augustine turf...you need to keep a close eye on your lawn for the next couple of weeks.
We have had an incredible amount of rain the last two weeks...and this week the temperatures are going to drop. This is the perfect scenario for Brown Patch to emerge in St. Augustine.
We don't typically see Brown Patch until later in October, but all indications are it's going to be here early.
What you need to look for are any defined patches of yellowing/browning turf. It will typically be in a circular shape, and can range from just a few inches in diameter to several feet.
Treatment can be done with any fungicide labeled for Brown Patch. The products we use are Eagle fungicide or T Storm fungicide.
The earlier you catch it, the better! So keep an eye out!
