St Augustine. What is this? Grub worms, chinch bugs, brown patch, too much water, alien space ship landing? A week ago it was one perfect circle, now spreading. We sprayed a fungicide & plan to do it again after the rain this week. Thoughts?

Looks like a case of cinch bugs...if so, treat immediately as they do serious damage to SA lawns in a short period of time!

thats easy... Brown patch. apply a granular fungicide like heritage or tstorm and recheck 14 days later.

Brown patch.

Chinch bugs are usually solid dead patches and from what I've seen, usually have a side coming off the concrete for the radiant heat. Brown patch is a mix of yellow and green blades in a circular shape.

Go tug on a leaf blade and if it comes off really easily into your hand, you have brown patch. Doesn't look like chinch bugs to me but it is possible. You can test with and old coffee can or a piece of 4" PVC pipe. Just tap it into the ground and fill with water. The chinch bugs will float to the top. If applying fungicide, I would suggest propiconazole or azoxystrobin. Or if in Houston just call me and I will take care of it.
