Celebration bermuda is browning on the tips. Doesnt look like red thread. The only herbicide that's been on it was prodiamine back in April. Fertilized with urea a couple of weeks ago. Bayer daconil on it in April (was treating zoysia rust in shader areas)









Its enough to give the grass a kind of brownish tint almost like it's starting to go dormant. I cut at 1.5 inches every 2 or 3 days. It hasn't been putting out seed heads.

Iron deficiency?
Over watering or too much rain?

We've had about 1" over the past two weeks so idk if it's that. Might be the iron, though.

Iron then. That's all I got.
Hopefully Ronk will show up.

Bermuda melt out. Do another round of fungicide.

I find Bermuda grass fungus interesting because it’s the one grass where ferting it and frequent mowing fixes everything. Bermuda is the back (10 or so feet off the back of my house) gets Helminthosporium every year. I don’t do anything about it. It cures itself.

While Helminthosporium might sound cool to lawn it won’t pick up chicks at a party.

Maybe it's your delivery? You should practice.

If you apply propiconazole about 30 days before you normally see it and then again 21 days later it should help to control it.
