might be the problem. This is
a major disease in St. Augus-
tine and looks like it will be
again this year as well. This
fungus attacks the root system
primarily in the fall and spring
months. Any factor that
causes the turf to be stressed
can enhance the potential for
TARR to become active. The
drought and heat stress of
2006 placed a lot of stress on
turf. This fungus can kill the
root system. TARR can be
weaken them and make them
more susceptible to other
stress problems such as freez-
ing temperatures and drought.
Once temperatures begin to
warm up this fungus should no
longer be a problem until the
fall. There are fungicides that
are recommended for control.
4. Slow Spring Transition
The cooler than normal tem-
peratures and cloudy days
have caused the warm season
turf grasses to be slower than
usual in their transition from a
dormant (brown) state to an
active green growing state.
Solution: Once the weather
warms up and we begin to re-
ceive more sunshine, some of
the affected areas should start
growing better to form a dense
stand of turf grass.
5. Heavy infestation of win-
ter weeds.
Due to the drought condi-
tions of 2006, many lawns
were thinned out going into the
winter months. As we received
above average rainfall, this has
encouraged the germination

If your St. Augustine grass
does not have any problems,
then you are in the minority.
Many problems have been ob-
served in this grass dating
back to last summer up to this
spring. All types of turf grass
have had problems but, St.
Augustine seems to be having
the most problems. Problems
currently being observed in-
clude:
1. Dead areas of St. Augus-
tine
These brown areas are
small to large and can be ir-
regular throughout the lawn.
Solution: This situation can
be caused by a host of prob-
lems such as drought, freez-
ing temperatures, insects, and
turf fungus. It will be impor-
tant to determine what your
problem is.
2. Yellow St. Augustine.
These symptoms usually
have a yellow or chlorotic
look, which usually are signs
of iron deficiency. However,
an application of iron might
not correct the problem. A
more serious problem such as

identified by small to large ir-
regular patches of dead St. Au-
gustine grass. In many cases
the leaves are yellow around
the affected area.
Solution: Successful control
can be difficult at best. Fun-
gicide application may help
but may not always be suc-
cessful. There is an approved
list of fungicides available. A
newer treatment of TARR is
through topdressing of Sphag-
num peat moss.
3. Brown Patch
Typically this turfgrass fun-
gus has been a problem in the
fall months. However, it is re-
ported that this disease has
been reported as occurring in
St. Augustine lawns through-
out Texas this spring. The
ideal temperature for this fun-
gus is nighttime temperatures
below 70° F and the daytime
temperatures in the 75 to 85°
F range. The above average
rainfall and mild temperatures
have likely resulted in this fun-
gus being active this spring.
Solution: Brown patch does
not normally kill affected

and growth of many winter an-
nual weeds. Remember that
St. Augustine grass is not as
tolerant to herbicides as most
other warm season turf
grasses. Over application or
misapplication can lead to
lawn stress making it more
susceptible to other problems.
Using herbicides must be done
at the right time. The spring
application of a preemergent
can cause loss if there has been
a freeze or disease problem.
The fall application of a
preemergent is usually recom-
mended. Avoid application of
an herbicide to St. Augustine
in shady areas. Use a
postemergent herbicide with
caution because generally the
most critical times to use a
postemergent herbicide is in
the spring transition period.
This is also when the grass is
most susceptible to herbicide
injury.
Solution: The preferred
method to combat weeds in St.
Augustine grass is through the
best use of cultural practices.
This includes a good fertiliza-
tion, mowing, and irrigation
program. Healthy St. August-
ine grass has the ability to
drown out weeds.
We could spend a lot of pa-
per talking about these
turf grass problems. There are
special evaluation techniques
to look for in determining each
of these. In my discussions
with Extension Horticulture
people, the problems we are
seeing in the St. Augustine
grass are wide spread and very
common this year. I know that
many of you might have al-
ready fertilized."
If you have not it may be
better to wait and see if you
can get your grass growing and
to appear a little more healthy
if you are observing any of
these symptoms. Over fertiliz-
ing a stressed lawn could do
more harm than good. It would
be ok to put some type of ap-
plication of iron on it. It may
or may not help. If you would
like more information on the
type of fungicide products
available or the peat moss top
dress, feel free to call the Mills
County Extension office.
