Is it possible for weed free zone to some how cause grey leaf spot in my St. Augustine? Every where I spot sprayed it looks like grey leaf spot is coming in.

Does WFZ have dicamba in it? Whenever I spray Celsius it makes my st aug look like this for a month+ regardless of dosage.

It does. Label says .67%

Google says, WFZ can cause stress to the grass making it more susceptible to grey leaf spot.

I did another test spot a couple days ago and I already see it coming in.

A LOT less than Celsius. That’s for sure.

ETA: I think the only two herbicide products I’ve ever sprayed in my St Aug that doesn’t really stress it is Atrazine (by itself) and Recognition. I also spray Propiconazole about once every 4-6 weeks.

Anecdotally, the more I treat my St.Aug for weeds the more susceptible it becomes to fungal infections, in my case the brown/large patch variety. I'm about ready to start over with zoysia.

I probably won't do anything but pre-emergent if I re-sod. But I want something less disease prone. Bermuda is not an option.
