Can you tell what the high and low rate for both are. I usually use the most common higher rate for all the different fungus they protect against with a 80/20 surfactant. Could I get away with the lower rate with a 80/20 or are you referring only to the natural adjuvant giving you longer use per lower rate?

Fantastic Pete. Thanks for all the information taking my lawn game to new levels.

You should put together a fungicide pack on your website with all the stuff you listed I. Today’s video

Love that GCI grass seed in my lawn. Thanks Pete, i'm crushing the lawn game on my block.

Great stuff Pete. I always appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience. 👊🏼🇺🇸

Strobe G has both these fungicides in a granular form. Love it.

Good Morning ☀️ Senor Pete....God Bless You Brother.

Hey pete l hope you having a great day!!! I thought l was nut about my grass 🤣🤣 but you my friend, you are the king 👑 .

Pete, I do agree on the fertilizing during the summer months, what people are doing is applying applying the rate

Put this mixture down last night. Had a pop-up thunderstorm roll through overnight. Glad it was down. Anxious to see the difference between my fescue and my neighbors who does not have any fungicide applied. Noticing as the weather gets more warm and stays humid, the darker the fescue is becoming.

Thanks for the info Pete. I plan to try it out.

This guy is no joke impressive yards good work!

Pete this is as usual a great video, thinking about the cost of the chemicals, maybe two or three neighbours could share the larger sized bottle and therefore each of them is better off.

Great video as I'm prepping to put my second fungicide app down!

Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us!

First Aussie 😁. Great video Pete. 😎👍👍

Excellent vid brother. You answered several of the questions I've been trying to figure out. Do you always use a combination of Propiconazole and azoxystrobin for prevention?

I have 3 5K square feet sections of turf just like you. I've always used granular fungicide (Headway G) instead of spraying with my 4 gallon backpack because unless I'm mistaken all of the fungicides call for more carrier (water) per 1K feet than I care to put down with a backpack. But, clearly this approach seems to work for you. Perhaps I will give it a try. It will be a lot more cost effective than granular treatments.

BioAdvance Fungus Control label mentions among other reasons over or under fertilized lawns contributing to fungus issues. Perhaps the bottom line is using the "Goldilocks Rule." for summer app. of (N) with some extra (K). In NoVA my patch is hanging in there using the above. Not too little, not too much. We'll see.

Hi Pete, propiconazole and azoxystrobin are systemic broad spectrum fungicides so are they offered in a sprayable solution for convenience - easier to apply for pros? Or do you find that it also is capable of foliar uptake?

@@GCITurf Thanks for sharing this very informative article, it clearly differentiates systemic and contact fungicides. I have a question though. If the turf grass is already affected by a soil borne fungus such as the one that causes summer patch, would it make sense to apply a proper systemic fungicide without adjuvant and water-in immediately to push the fungicide to the root zone? I understand the systemic fungicide can be aplied with adjuvant and fine droplets to be absorbed by the grass tissue - and eventually get to the roots. But I wanted to understand what alternative will likely provide the fastest curative results. Thanks again.
