Southern, Warm Season Grasses thrive between tempatures of 80-95 degrees Fahrenheit.

Some of the most common southern grasses are : Bahia, Bermudagrass, Centipede grass, St. Augustinegrass, and Zoysiagrass.

Generally speaking Southern grasses should be fertilized four times per year.

When Choosing a fertilizer (synthic or Organic)

Nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium are the three primary components in lawn fertilizer. The shorthand is N-P-K.

Nitrogen builds strong grass and roots. It keeps grass green and protects it from diseases.

Fall fertilizers include phosphorus for stronger roots. A lawn with adequate phosphorus can better fight diseases and is more tolerant to heat, cold and drought.

Potassium helps to protect the grass and roots from winter's extremely cold temperatures.

Gypsum also could be present in the fertilizer. It loosens heavy clay soils and improves absorption of nutrients. Loose soil makes it easier for new spring grass to break through.

A soil test is the best way to determine what nutrients are lacking in your lawn. Test for nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, as well as the soil's pH level.

Your soil's pH level will indicate its chemistry. If the pH level shows a need to reduce acidity, apply lime. If alkalinity needs to be reduced, apply sulfur.

~Timing~

While the top growth of your grass slows or stops altogether in cooler autumn temperatures, the roots continue to grow.

Three fall fertilizer applications properly prepare your yard for winter. Apply the initial treatment in early September. Apply the second feeding in late October and a third feeding in December. The N-P-K nutrients feed the roots to keep the grass strong during the winter. They also provide reserves for a green and quick growth spurt in the spring.

Fertilizer dissolves more easily and quickly into soil that's somewhat moist. If your yard is very dry, give it a good watering and then wait a day to fertilize. Otherwise the fertilizer's ingredients won't be as effective.
