| Sonny, I suggest you first determine the cause(s) of your lawn problems. It could be an insect such as chinch bugs or grubs, but may also be a disease such as Take All patch. If you've used Bayer Advanced and still have problems I suggest a diagnosis is needed. Bring a sample to your Extension Office for diagnosis. It is important that the sample be of sick (not dead) grass, taken from the zone between healthy and dead grass. Take 1 or 2 samples about 4X4" in size (larger is fine) with roots and some soil attached. Place the samples in a zip close or twist tie closed plastic bag. Your Extension Office's contact info is: (386) 822-5778 West Volusia (386) 257-6012 Daytona Beach (386) 423-3368 New Smyrna Beach Volusia County Agricultural Center 3100 E. New York Ave. DeLand, FL 32724 Thanks for the question. Please stop in again soon! |
