I am told my grass is resistant to chinch bugs, however, i have brown areas. If this is true what is causing the brown spots?

bitter blue SO BLUE ARE YOU. Sorry you purchased BB FUNGUS PRONE A VERY WEAK PLANT YOU MAY EXPECT TO LOOSE @30% OF YOUR NEW SOD FIRST YEAR… TRY PLUGGING DAMAGED AREAS WITH DELMAR PLUGS VERYY DURABLE ST AUG VARIETY!

Spread 20lbs of cornmeal per 1000 sqft. That should help with the brown patch.

Also spread compost thinly on that area. I’d suggest that you plug with different SA variety. Del Mar might be ok but Palmetto develops deeper root system. Your call. www.sodsolutions.com for more info on Palmetto SA.
