On engines with belt-driven cooling fans, a fan clutch is often used to save energy and reduce noise. The fan clutch disengages slows or disengages the engine's cooling fan when extra cooling isn't needed. The fan pulls air through the radiator and air conditioning condenser when the vehicle isn't moving fast enough to provide adequate airflow for cooling.
St Augustine grass will go dormant when the soil temperatures fall below 55 degrees. If the soil remains warmer than 60 degrees all year, the grass will stay green. It will, however, slow in growth as the soil drops in temperature. Disadvantages of St Augustine grass. One of the disadvantages of St Augustine grass is its poor wear tolerance.
Germination Failure. Grass seeds may fail if the temperatures aren't right for the particular type of grass. For example, warm-season grasses planted during a spring cold snap will stay dormant. As they lay in the soil, surrounding weed seeds take over the space and make it harder for the grass to become established.f your seeds remain at their ideal temperature range and are planted no more than 1/4 inch deep, you should see germination after three weeks. It is critical to keep the top 1/2 inch of soil moist with a misty spray so the seeds continue to absorb moisture as the seedling grows larger.
