I have Tiff 419 Turf and I aerated and fertilized in early April. I have been watering regularly since then. I noticed a graying patch in a part of the yard. I was wondering what it is and how to treat it?

Neal,The graying in your yard comes from a fungal spore in the soil that Bermuda varieties are susceptible to. To my knowledge there is no "cure" for the spore in the soil and the only real way to manage the area is to compost, aerate, and fertilize the lawn yearly to keep the overall health of the soil up. With the days being hot and the nights being cool the problem is not going to go away, as we head into the summer months and the day and night temperatures stay up you will start to see a decline in the patch. Unfortunately this is going to be a reoccurring problem that you are going to have yearly.
