re: St. Augustine grass growing stalks

My Bermuda fields are doing the same thing right now. When stressed (too much/too little water, long periods of heat, etc.), the plant will produce seeds in order to establish a next generation. Not much can be done aside from a growth regulator. The regulator will redistribute the carbohydrates within the plant to the roots. This causes a growth in the root system, as opposed to growth of seed heads.


ETA: I use Trinexapac-ethyl for Bermuda. I will run check the label for you to see if St Aug is listed for it
