Help with dead spots

I applied 2 treatments of lesco weed and feed on my St. Augustine about 6 weeks. Now I have alot of dead spots in my yard and wondering why this happened. I’m having problems believeing that all the dead spots were weeds. What can I do to help this my grass is suffering and before i applied the yard was outstanding with about 15% weeds. I live outside of Tampa. Thanks

There’s several reasons for this. St. Augustine Decline is one reason, another is Brown Patch, yet another is clinch bugs, fungas is still another factor. It is very hard to narrow it down. How much Nitrogen did you put down per 1000sq.ft? What was the analysis of the fertilize? When did you apply it? Go into a little more detail if you can. What about the watering? Is it irrigated? This may be almost impossible to nail down. You might get the local county extention agent to stop by and take a look. I’d help more but need a lot more info and a photo if possible. Also, the grass could be going into dormancy but that should have happened months ago. Roy
