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 **

or
Scotts Disease EX: amzn.to/3Xds47p (Affiliate Link)
- Propiconazole: Dollar Spot & Brown Patch (Group 3)
Quali-Pro Propiconazole: amzn.to/3VlUrxs (Affiliate Link)
- Mefenoxam: Pythium Blight (Group 4)
Quali-Pro Mefenoxam 2 AQ: amzn.to/3KAXm0v (Affiliate Link)
Cycle through these to make sure you are preventing disease throughout the lawn season
Why do I care about using different Groups?
** Prevent Fungicide Resistance **
FRAC (Fungicidal Resistance Action Committee) Code:
An international consortium of fungicide manufacturers that provides information regarding fungicide resistance mitigation. The organization has created a code useful for easy classification of fungicides based on their cross-resistance behavior.
Group 3 vs 4 vs 11
- Mix it up to prevent resistance
- Not all Fungicides are created equal

Never relized how much work having a nice lawn takes growing up. Always that it was just water and mow man I was wrong

Nothing wrong with Mowing and watering. If you want something more, then it just requires more work. But sometimes green is good, and that's ok.

Some problems with fungus in the lawn is when you re seed your lawn use the exact seed you use in previous season. By mixing different seed it does give enough time to be fungus resistant. I been using the same seed the same cultivar that I used in the pass. Now I get very little fungus, but I do put down some fungicide early about July and I hardly get any fungus.

Great video Dino. Well explained . The only thing I would mention and I learned this the hard way was that Disease Ex does not treat Dollar Spot. I have always used both Disease Ex and BioAdvanced thinking I would rotate them for better prevention and still ended up with Dollar Spot. Then I learned that Disease Ex does not treat or prevent it. 🤷‍♂🤦‍♂#GOYANKEES

@TheLawnShark Ай бұрын

That is good to know! I thought Azoxystrobin was good for Dollar Spot, which is what is in Disease EX, but I have seen that Propconizole is more effective. Thanks for jumping in Keith! #GOYANKEES

Yep! Keith, you taught me that and you were spot on.

That´s a lot to keep track of, maybe it´s for the best that we cannot use fungicides anyways :D But I would really really liked to be able to use something in late fall against snow mold. Great video, awesome explanations!

@TheLawnShark Ай бұрын

HAHA! Not sure how you guys do it without the use of fungicides. Thanks buddy!

@marshabush6818 29 күн бұрын

This was really great information. It explained a lot about what to use for which fungus. And, why to rotate them. But, I have something in my yard that is a bright yellow/orange color scattered through out, no particular pattern to it. I first thought it was poa dying out but it doesn't appear to be that. I am trying to identify and work on what to use.

@TheLawnShark 29 күн бұрын

Glad it was helpful overall. If what you have is a weed, I use an app called "PictureThis" and it does an excellent job of identifying things for me. If it's a fungus, i would put the description in Google and see what kicks out.

I hate having to put on long pants. I wear cargo shorts almost year round. I found a pair of rubber boots at a local farm store. They're tall enough to come up to where my shorts end just below my knees. So I'm covered from any bad stuff. Plus it's easy to hose them off when done.

@TheLawnShark Ай бұрын

I have some rubber boots as well, but in the summer they are worse than long pants. they don't breathe and get so dang hot! If I use something especially harsh I wear them.

@HighDesertLawns Ай бұрын

@@TheLawnShark Yeah, that's the bad thing. I have about half a gallon of water pour out when I take them off.
