Texas heat may bring drought weeds and pests to lawns says Tom Gaither Terry County Extension Agent. Dry spots occur from improper watering fertilizing and mowing. Adjust watering to four to six inches deep and raise mowing height to boost drought tolerance. Nitrogen or iron deficiencies also cause pale color and weeds. Apply nitrogen or iron sulfate per 1000 sq ft as needed. If St Augustine shows S A D symptoms consider Floratum. Leaf spots occur with stress and may require fungicides. Chinch bugs and white grubs mimic drought damage. water before insecticide and drench after applying grub insecticide. Gaither notes St Augustine and bermuda respond differently to grubs.
