Which fungicide should I use in my lawn? Let's take a comprehensive look at the how and why behind disease control!
When is your grass most susceptible to fungus?
- Warm season grass when temps start to cool and growing slows. Especially when grass begins to go dormant.
- Cool Season when things warm up and moisture increases
My main issues:
- Excessive moisture from the Hill
- Excessive shadows from the trees
When should I use Fungicides?
It depends on whether you are looking to be Curative vs Preventative.
What kind of Fungicide should I use?
- Azoxystrobin: Brown Patch (Group 11) *** Applying this alone can promote resistance ***
