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. -- Remove "not" from start of email address to reply |

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... |

Wondering if that had anything to do with it? 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. -- Replace abuse with kd21 in email address to assure valid reply address. |
