Nitrogen and Iron Deficiencies Darken St. Augustine Lawns
Extension expert Al Novosad notes that yellowing lawns from St. Augustine or Bermuda grass often signal nitrogen or iron shortages. He recommends iron chelates or iron sulfate sprays for quick iron correction and soil treatments for broader relief, with spring and fall nitrogen fertilizing and regular ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulfate applications during the growing season. A soil test helps tailor lime, salinity, and fertilizer needs, aiming for two pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 sq ft in main applications and about one pound per 1,000 sq ft per growing-season spray.
