Treat foliage with a registered fungicide when needed. Clean up defoliated leaves to remove chance of recurrence. Brown Patch and Curvalaria are continuing to be a problem at the homeowners' clinic. Avoid over application of nitrogen and monitor irrigation carefully. It's also a good idea to take a soil test to check the potassium level.
Potassium is especially important in turf during stressful cold weather in the winter months.
Fall army worms are a problem in some areas of the state, particularly on Bermuda grass. Treat area with a registered chemical if threshold limits exceed cosmetic damage. Oak strip caterpillars may also now be visiting our trees and landscapes. These pests are more of a nuisance, than danger to our trees. Because trees will soon defoliate anyway, spraying trees is usually unnecessary and impractical.
