Centipedegrass Fungus: Identify First, Follow UGA Maintenance, Lab Test

Key: correctly ID the fungus—centipede decline often mimics fungal symptoms from overwatering or high mowing (>1.5"). Fungicides are disease-specific; misdiagnosis explains treatment failure. Follow UGA centipede maintenance. At first symptoms next year, send sample to UGA plant pathology lab via Extension (404-897-6261).
