We’ve talked about it before, but it needs to be brought up again…
Brown patch is a BIG problem this year. If you have St. Augustine, you need to keep an eye out for it.
DO NOT ignore any yellowing in your lawn! With the amount on rain we have had your St. Augustine should be lush and green right now. If you have any browning or yellowing, you likely have a problem.
Brown patch has to be dealt with using a fungicide right now, you do not want to let it sit and spread.
The last thing you want to do is to let your turf go dormant with an active fungus present. Doing so will make any infected area have a very hard time coming out of dormancy in the spring…and in some cases it may not come out of dormancy at all.
You need to treat the fungus, and give you lawn a little time to recover before it goes into dormancy over the next few months!
Whatever you do...DON'T ignore signs of brown patch!
