Buffalo Lawn Problem.
 

Anyone had a lot of recent rain and have noticed Buffalo lawns suffering?

2 residents at work have buffalo lawns that aren't looking the best.
Asked me to spray them for army worm, but I knew it wasn't the problem.
One lawn is fine out the front, got slight yellow patching out the back. He
recently fertilised the back, so my guess is fertliliser burn. A pH test
showed levels around 6.5, so it's ok.
Haven't checked the other lawn, but overall it looks like it's dying from a
distance. I noticed some edges where it wasn't mowed were green, so it might
be as simple as scalping, but I doubt it.
We had a hell of a lot of rain here 2 weeks ago, highest in the state I
beleive.
Wondering if that had anything to do with it?

Any suggestions?
Our boss suggested the bad lawn may need a slight fertilising of something
that's high in Potassium and Phosphorous.

Thanks for any help.

I thought most buffalo lawns went varying degrees of yellow in autumn
/ winter ?
I've used Palmetto, which doesn't yellow very much, and in fact is
still green at the moment...

A salesman at turfco told me that there's been a bit of an outbreak of
a virus among Sir Walter in the Sydney area. This is a problem with a
grass that is spread from a clone.
