Al, why did you choose a liquid form of propicanizole? There are granular forms available. Just curious.
I went with what I could get locally at the store and that is what was there - i wanted to show that you can make a good strategy without "professional" products. My assumption is these same products/brand are available in most of the country and I wanted to be relevant to as many folks as possible.
@@Thelawncarenut you are not relevant to anyone dude. You are full of yourself.
@@LawnsAcrossAmerica Don't be jealous you didn't produce such an informative video yourself. This world doesn't need haters like you. I found this vid very helpful, sorry.
Lawns Across America LOL
The Lawn Care Nut Hey Allyn, how long should I wait until I can apply humic acid(liquid) after I apply Scott’s disease EX? Thanks in an advanced.
I'm going to wait this out and watch in 1080p
Ha, you said pee
Lawns are looking super dark green bro. Mint as!
@@LawnTips thanks bruh!
Welcome to the exclusive 1080p club, Ben! I tried the 360p club, but just could not take it anymore.
I've had a terrible issue with summerpatch over the last 5-6 years. It appears in early July every year and destroyes my front yard. I've use several apps of propiconazole each year, applied at the rate listed on the bottle. No luck. I just purchased disease ex and will be throwing down down the first application today, followed by several intervals. Fingers crossed. I always have the nicest lawn in the neighborhood until July. Then, all hell breaks lose.

I have the exact same issue!
I start out the season with an amazing lawn with tons of compliments and by the end of July everyone asks what happened. Then I spend the whole fall and spring working my tail off (as well as a ton of money) to get it back. Then repeat the cycle. It’s starts off as grey leaf spot and before you know it it’s melted out.
I’ve got 20000 sf of tall fescue. I’ve probably spent $350 this year on most of the fungicides mentioned above, but here it comes again, just like every other year. Anyone have any suggestions?
Solid. Starting out I always neglected fungicides, it's a must.
Pharmacist here, thumbs up on using two mechanisms of action to prevent resistance. Very smart.
I'm a landscaper and use the same two products on my lawn. They work just as well as the professional grade products at half the cost
The diseaseEx is what I used about a month ago when I notice a spot of brown patch coming in hard and fast in my emerald zoysia. It knocked it out fast and the zoysia has just about completely recovered in that section since then.
I feel so smart! I just bought the exact same products for my yard for this strategy!
You are smart !
exaclty what i needed,,, tomorrow,,, I had this for years and never have been able to get under control,, and yes the water does sit in these areas, the lawn is sloped to drain toward the street .
Idk what’s better your info, your lawn or your camera quality ❤️ ✔️ all of the above.
I just applied the Bayer liquid. My advice is to speed walk or else it’ll be bone dry empty in 60 seconds
I’m using this strategy with Scott’s disease ex and liquid propiconazole. The propiconazole I’m using is a generic at 14.3% concentration. The bioadvanced is only 2.4%. The Scott’s disease ex has the same concentration as heritage and is actually a little cheaper by the pound.
I’m in central NC with tall fescue and super susceptible to brown patch once the humidity kicks in.
yes very good strategy.
The diseasex granular you mentioned worked for me last year. I had a couple of areas in my lawn that were thin and getting worse. I put down the granular and in 2-3 weeks the problem was gone.
Found that Scott's EX on sale some how on Amazon for $11! Loaded up the cart for the year. Thought about it and said better get some for next year and hour later...back up to $18.99!!! 😳
Can you do a video on how to recover from a fungus infection? Brown patch swept through our newer neighborhood last fall, and by the time I recognized what was happening and stopped it with fungicide, the damage was done to my 3yo perfect sod. I did cut out and reseeded maybe 50 of the 1-foot dead circles, and replaced others with plugs from other areas of the yard, but you can tell something bad happened, as the sod is now all mottled and pitted.
I’ve applied the granular with limited success in the past, however the RTS worked flawlessly
Can we get more details on your irrigation setup. When/how you water?
Not only is that lawn in mint condition, but you have a pretty truck my friend!
thanks! I love the Tundra.
I used that Bayer Advanced on my lawn for a fungus I got last year and it sprayed out way too fast. As a result I had way more die back than I should have had and that part of my lawn is having a hard time coming back this year. I don't think I'll using that product any more and if I do I'll put it in a pump up sprayer and spray it that way. By the way, that carbonx did a great job on darkening up your lawn. I can't wait to get some. Unfortunately you don't have any in stock right now.
Got Brown Patch last year on my TTTF, will definitely be following this plan this year.
thrower down!
Josh, I had the same issue. Brown Patch absolutely destroyed my lawn. Tried 2 apps of propiconizal with minimal results. Grabbed diseaseX from lowes and that worked great.
Can you explain the reason as to why you shouldn’t cut prior to this application and also wait 2-3 days after cutting? Thanks keep up the great informative content!
Think its because of lawn stress and clippings. Cutting and adding fungicide on the same day may stress the lawn too much. Also when the clippings are on the lawn the granules may not reach where it needs to go right away.
Gotta love the info thanks for what you're doing and sharing your knowledge
Perfect timing. I just got two bags of disease ex. Now if it will just stop raining...
This product has been great for my lawn. I have a little under 2600 sqft bermuda. So since the bottle will treat 5000, I'll shake the bottle real well, then open it and pour out 16 oz into a separate container. So now, I know that the 16oz I have left should stretch my sub 2600 sqft. It's a bit extra step, I know but I'm very technical so it keeps me sane.
I had Dollar spot fungus/ Brown patch fungus in my kentucky blue grass and got rid of it with Twin Pine brand 12-12-12 fertilizer.
Awesome vids man!! I recently purchased my first property and it is brand new and which means that the turf is going to need extra care so it doesn’t die. I’m in the the UK so our products differ but I did find similar alternatives which are working great. First vid I saw from you was how to dominate your neighbors lawn!!! That was it from there, been watching since.
Just applied the propiconazole and you weren’t kidding! That stuff comes out FAST!😲
Always appreciate your videos... Be well and stay encouraged!!!
Thank you !!
Allyn, great video! Do you ever dabble in growth inhibitor for lawns (other then fungicides)? I understand that it basically inhibits leaf growth but pushes root growth. I would love to hear more on growth inhibitors, especially for those of us with TTTF in the transition zone.
Pretty sure he has done a T Nex video, but don't take my word for that
never messed with it but may someday
My baby boy LCN in training, Oliver, will be 11 weeks tomorrow. My oldest is almost 5, but she's not into lawn stuff too much, but picks dandelions for me every morning!
Growing a lawn together is what it's all about!
@@Thelawncarenut For sure. Hubby and daughter do the veggie garden. I get to do the grass, something I never thought I'd find interesting until I found you. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation!
Allyn, your Empire is looking awesome!
Thanks !
Great video Allan. I've been using that fungus spray myself for a couple of years and can vouche that it works great. Your lawn looks frickin fabulous as always!
thanks bro!
Nice, I was talking to Matt Martin about this idea last year. I called it the “Poor Mans Heritage G”! 🤙🏼
I thought this year to add a few ounces of Air8 to the liquid bottle to top it off which should enhance the fungicide too.
add some d-thatch if you get some damage and it will clear up faster too!
Unfortunately, I don’t have that... The pack I bought last year came with Humic12, Air8, RGS and Micro Greene. I thought the best of them for this was Air8 because Jonathan Green recommends to use Love Your Soil with a fungicide application to help it penetrate more. 🤷🏻♂️
@@LawnDad your pack is great and yes Air8 is awesome for creating space in the soil. I was just giving you another little trick if you wanted to mess with it. The d-thatch will help take any brown/dead spot down in a hurry because it has molasses in it that excites the microbes so anytime you have dead grass (from disease, mowing, etc) it can be used to speed up the digestion of that dead grass.
Yeah, absolutely! That will be my next purchase when these run dry. I guess the Air8 was my next best option for what I had on hand.
Great video with easily accessible products! 🤙🏼
Applied Scotts Disease Ex but was disappointed the product packaging did not give details about applying to wet/dry lawn and whether watering after application is needed. Used the Scotts' chat line was informed you can apply Disease Ex to wet or dry lawn and need to water in after applying in order to "activate" the product. The Scotts agent was very responsive.
I did the exact same. Good support but would be nice to just have it on the bag like you said.
I put Heritage G down first week of May and then Scott’s down two weeks later because I got nervous the Heritage might’ve washed out with all the rain. The last couple of days I’ve noticed disease creeping in still.
Wow, that color is unbelievably good, i have Floratam too and didnt know it could get that dark!! Proof of carbonx and n-ext products together.
That carbonx section is SICK! Looks like I need to get some.
Allyn, thanks for the videos- your ideas are being implemented as we speak back here in Indiana! It really seems like you miss the cold up here. Moving here from Texas was a bit of a shock, but I digress. I just bought the Timemaster and absolutely love it- now on to the Milo, fungicide, etc. Wish me luck!
I was in Winter Park, FL this weekend. The Love Bugs are insane right now. My first time seeing them.
Yep, nasty nasty and stupid bugs too.
I hear, cutting your grass high will help prevent fungus growth. What is the theory behind this? It would seem that the grass would stay damp longer with talll grass
Nice to be able to just run to the store and grab these for sure. Once you become more comfortable spraying and praying, you can buy propocanizol concentrate quite inexpensively online and it'll go a long ways and save you some money. Not really the product you would learn to spray with though, stay away from spraying pesticides if you're not confident.
Prograss EC and Prostar 70 WG , works great with your chicken manure .
Al there is nobody that’s doing it like you brotha even my ol lady said holy shit look at that domination line you’re killing bro
success!
OMG if that's what CarbonX does to St. Aug you can sign me up!
It's electric, boogie-woogie-woogie.
Along with bio-stims which boost the performance of other products applied.
Yeah I certainly think it works better on my st aug than Milo. Even at bag rate it seems to outpreform Milo at a really high rate.
CarbonX is great but you're basically just seeing the effects of a fertilizer in general here..
@@Thelawncarenut you said do a regular fertilizer and do spot spray for the weeds my entire yard front and back is covered in weed mostly clovers would still spot spray or just blanket spray or granulated form
Double dark, bruh! Great info. Just put my Disease Ex down this past week.
Alan, please give me an ideal mow schedule for tall fescue, and how tall should I keep it? Thanks 🙏🏻
Cut at the highest setting on your mower and never remove more than 1/3 of the grass blade length in a single cutting. The more you mow, the heathier it will grow.
Congrats on 250K, Allyn!
thanks bro!!
I want to know where you got that landscaping curbing around those palms with the mulch in the middle...
Allyn, previously you recommended putting down the granular then waiting one week and using the Bayer. Is this still the recommendation or can we do then back to back?
Love the channel Allyn and the yard is looking great. I see the domination lines bro. The only problem I have with this approach is the fungicides will also kill the mycorrhizea (benificial) fungi as well. These beneficial fungi help the grass as a primary immune response to disease and excrete enzymes toxic to nematodes which feed on the roots. They also increase your grass' ability to absorb water and nutrients in the soil by about 10 fold because they are able to get to the nutrients that are locked in places too small for roots to get to. To rebuild that good fungus you would need to add a soil inoculation to rebuild the microbiology. Also known as "getting your soil right". This would be 50 bucks extra you might not have to spend every time you use fungicides.
hey bro - good stuff! - yes for sure I know that fungicides have some negative effect and that's why I'm only treating the sections of the lawn that I know are not fully established to my standards (talked about this in the podcast). Once I feel like the turf is strong though, I rarely if ever use fungicides after that. Such as with my Floratam (the part I mowed in this vid) that isn't getting fungicide this season as it's been established for 10 years and fights off disease naturally very well. I'm not sure about adding soil inoculants though - that's way over my head for sure.
I'm interested in what product you would use for a soil inoculant for turf?
Micro life has a great soil inoculate
@@jcarouth micro life has a great one, it's the burgandy bag but be careful cuz if you already sprayed then you have a 30 day wait period because you have an active antifungal already applied. Hope this helps
@@ericlegrue6775 Thanks. It does help. I use a different product for gardening (Xtreme Mykos mycorrhizae) but was curious about applications for the lawn. That is good info, thanks.
Perfect, just picked up some disease ex yesterday!
good call
great content Allyn! all signal, love it
Hey Allyn, could you do a comparison between Milorganite and Purely Organic Lawn Food. Ryan Knorr had Purely as an alternative for Milo but not a side by side comparison.
Can any of these products go down on top of seed or new grass without causing damage?
I was told synthetic fungicide would kill the good n bad fungus n microbes. How do you keep your soil so healthy?
FYI, The scotts fungus 10 lb bag in your video is on sale for $11 at amazon right now(5-24). Hurry because I think its a 1-2 day sale. I grabbed 3 bags for $33 shipped. At homedepot it would be $56.97
First Aussie 😁Safari Al today. Carbon X makes it grow thick like the jungle.😁👍👍
Can I apply this shortly after putting down the Yard Mastery Pre-emergent or should I wait?
Having an all organic lawn, what do these two fungicides do to the soil microbes ? Had brown patch last year in St. Augustine and read that lowering the cut height might help.
Wow....that carbon x is no joke....I'm going have to order 🔥🔥🔥
I'm going to throw down some compost instead, let's see who's soil is better improved
So no need to water in if we do this two step? Disease ex you mentioned I think 1/4” but not needed if spraying the bio advanced as that can act as the “watering In”. My only concern- there’s for sure not 1/4” going down when spraying the bio. You have to walk very quick through yard based on the coverage they say you
Get. Still wondering if I should put out 1/4” via sprinklers after all this.
Bio Advanced Hose End Sprayer fungus control is not in my store at stock! Sad
Put mine down on Saturday. That Bayer stuff comes out quick . Can't play around.
Wayne, I found that if you turn the locking knob just a bit, you can take it real slow.
yes it does!
Serious CarbonX results! Love it.
thanks bro!
Whats the difference between this and Scotts Grubex?
DiseaseEx is for fungs, GrubEx is for grubs
How do you clean your equipment after applying proicanizole 14.3?
Gotta link to that hat? No BS, I want it
It's just a standard pith helmet. Panama Jack hat some people call them too.
Love all the videos and your book!! I live in NY and have gotten a ton of rain this year. I was late to identify leaf spot and browning out. I now have blades of grass pulling out when I mow and have lost that "Green". I sprayed Bioadvanced and used Scott's Disease Ex late. Any advice on how to get rid of this fungus? I have no irrigation (just rain) and fert with milorganite, mow twice a week and mulch. I can bag if need be. Thanks!
7:09 I have the scotts elite and I had to dial it up to 3.5 to get the application rate. I did half the lawn at the 2.5 and the whole hopper looked full. So I went over it at 3.5 and it was perfect. So just a heads up if you want to add the scotts elite setting to this as well.
Is it to late in the summer to to this on my tall fescue
Can I apply those products if I just overseeded? How is it on new seeds and grass?
So I need to put down the second application of the starter fertilizer and second application of prodiamine tomorrow. Can that be applied with both of the products, the disease x granular and the fungus control spray?
Great video Allyn!
thanks bro!
One thing I’ve noticed around my area is a lot of common Bermuda grass in a cool season lawns. Most people mistake it for crab grass for some reason. Early spring there lawns start to green up then the Bermuda is still dormant. They say well I’ve gotta get something for all this crabgrass. There again know what your treating so I have to tell them it’s common Bermuda. Only thing I have found to treat it is PBI Gordon’s over the top, Bayer Bermudagrass control several apps or Pylex! This is an episode in its self. In the early spring late fall I’ve seen people treat there lawns with glyphosate kills the weeds not Bermuda as long as it’s dormant. I live in transitional zone. I’ve been killing Bermuda with glyphosate then using a piece of sod to cover the area. Do you have a video or tips for this thanks again for all the help Allen
Hello! I am new to this but and fast becoming obsessed. I am confident I have a fungus that was most likely due to bad cultural habits, dull blade (actually I discovered my blade was on upside down believe it or not), over watering, over fertilizing, etc. I applied the Heritage C and then a few days later the Eagle 20 EW and I noticed a that most of the lawn turned yellow a day or so after the Eagle liquid sprayer application. I thought maybe I didn't mix the ratio correctly? Well about two weeks go by and no noticeable improvement. After further research I discovered I may have' take all rot root'. So I applied about a 1/2 inch of peat moss over the entire lawn, waited a little over a week and then and applied the Bayer RTS and again I noticed a lot of the lawn blades are yellow again the day after the Bayer application? I made sure to do it in the morning and on a day that was not expected to reach 85 at all. I live in Houston, Texas. I have a 2,800 square foot yard and didn't even use half of the bottle of the Bayer. But it honestly looks worse now. I have the Scott's Disease Ex but haven't applied it yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks
Up Here in Swi., we have shade Trees for our lawns and that makes the Difference- with Proper Watering, Milnorginite and some other Things( Epsome Salt) Weed and Feed in early spring and lateFall to keep them dandeliens at bay) it does go into drought and heat ( 85-90) for 4-6 wks here..Aug thru Mid Sept.. We tried staying down at our Winter Home outside of Naples, but it was just too Humid and hot for us Northerners.. for 5 mos..and then them Hurricaines? No thank you.. But , instead of hibernating Indoors in teh AC 4-5 mos yr, we do that in our Nasty Winters with Heating on.. but we also Live on a Lake and nice crystal Clear to go run off our Peirs and jump in or take one of our Wave runners out for a spin to make a Lunch or Dinner run on our Pontoon Boat with Neighbors..And Non of the Gaters or Snakes to contend with in our Lakes.. I',surprised not many Shade Trees in those Nice Big Yards or to shade those Nice Homes? How come? Thanks for the Vids and look forward to your next one..
Allyn, you recommended to apply these two products in spring going into summer. What if I wanted to throw these down right now?
Love the Tundra!!
thanks me too!
So does this apply to cool season grass as well?
I wish you were here in Alabama doing my lawn because mine stay brown it never get green😩☹️
Yeah just put down pre emergent-Montreal Quebec soil temp 52farenheist
Soil temps still 41 here in Newfoundland...summer is slowlyyy coming'
Can fungicide be applied to lawns that were overseeded
READ. THE. LABELS.
Love watching your videos bub
thanks!
I’m having horrible problems with what I believe is take all root rot, what’s the best thing I can do? I have st. Augustine and live in south Texas. I already tried peat moss, heritage G, and eagle and the grass is still yellow and frail. What else can I do Al?
start spoon feeding it with liquid fert. Since the roots are gone it will need to get nutrients via the leaf tissue and liquids can do that. 7-0-0 Greene Effect would be perfect for this thelawncarenut.com/collections/soil-optimization/products/n-ext-microgreene-greene-effect-combo
Allyn can you do a video on your sago palms. Having trouble with mine in Vegas.
I have some scale that hits mine - I'll get some footage and see if that is maybe what's getting yours
What do you think about the cordless toro mowers?
You could also get a digital scale. Weigh the bottle before you treat your first section, and weigh the bottle afterwards. You can achieve accuracy down to the ounce. It all depends on how accurate you want to get. Just depends on how OCD you are LOL.
Allyn, Love your UA-cam videos. I've learned so much from them. Please stop saying "prevenTAtive" in place of preventive. In less, of course, you're trying to display your creaTAtive side. 😊
I put Disease EX on mine almost 2 weeks ago. It's about time for another app. The damned rain just will not stop. I'm getting depressed.
Just purchased a new home in northeast indiana. Builders planted Kentucky blue grass. Any suggestions or videos to reference? Thanks!
Congrats on your new home!! Start right here ua-cam.com/video/JjnA1TI8Pxg/v-deo.html a good mower will be a solid investment to make right away! Plenty of time left this season to enjoy the mow!
When my house was built the builders layer sod in the front yard and seeded the back. I have 3 different types of grasses. How can I get lawn the same through out?
Do you know how to get rid of Nostoc algae?
Been watching your videos for a while now, just noticed - why does the sidewalk end at your zone “2” and then pick back up at the stop sign?
I'm not sure - it was like that when we moved in. I'm happy about it though because no one walks their dogs over here
Hello from Orlando, i am trying fix my dying st Agustine backyard. a quarter of it died in the past 2-3 months. here is what i did to to the lawn so far
1. i start cutting twice a week, setting ~4"
2. May 25, i spray the fungicide to kill diseases ( spots on the leaf)
3. May 28, i spray weed control, lawn pesticide and throw down some 15-0-15.
4. June 25, put down some Milorginite.
I have couple questions hope you or you fans can help me answer them.
1. we are getting 95-105f heat index. will it hurt the st Augustine to add nitrogen during summer?
2. i want the grass to grow back ASAP without new sod. what product can i use to push the growth during summer?
3. from a youtube vid, the gentlemen was using 46-0-0 to help growth because his lawn has lots dead spots. can it apply to st Augustine grass too?
What type edger was that you were using?
i used this 'bullet proof 1 year ago starting in mid may (northeast ohio) and every 3 weeks thru September. I was still hit with fungus. This year I started w curative rate on 6/8 of the Bioadvanced....6/16 discoloration that ended up being fungus. placed a curative rate of Scotts diseaseEx and am crossing my fingers......I'm at a loss on what to do
How many weeks after putting down fungus-cide can I re-seed my lawn?
First time user of a garden hose sprayer and had each section timed out but the bottle emptied before I got done with 1000 square foot. Started the second bottle with the intention to spray quicker but both really emptied before the 2 minute mark. What the heck did I do wrong and will 15k sq ft of this product sprayed onto 4k sq ft of yard damage damage it?
Is your mower height set all the way up
i used this 'bullet proof ' method 1 year ago starting in mid may (northeast ohio) and every 3 weeks thru September. I was still hit with fungus.
