I live in Central Florida (Brevard) and have a Seville lawn. I know that Seville is a cultivar of St Augustine. As I look for fertilizer / herbicides, the labels will indicate "Safe for St Augustine lawns". Is this the same a saying "Safe for "cultivars" of St Augustine"? Or does the vendor really mean "Do NOT use this on anthing but St. Augustine...which means don't use this on Seville"?? IP: Logged |

As far as straight fertilizer is concerned...it's just fertilizer. Fertilize accordingly. Some chemical labels will actually read, "not for use on improved cultivars of St. Augustine". If it's pre-emergent activity you're looking for...atrazine, pendimethalin, prodiamine, dithiopyr should all be safe to use. Post-emergence is a different story...fairly limited to what you can use. Atrazine and metsulfuron are safe on St. Augustine, and control a wide range of weeds. I've never dealt with "Seville" though, but I spray a lot of "Mercedes" and "Palmetto". IP: Logged |
