I watched this once quickly and later realized how much good information there was that I didn't really remember so I watched it again and took notes, so good stuff!
Dave: Thanks for dropping a comment. I'm a small channel but have fun making videos. Appreciate the complement, I'm trying to provide more info/value . I'm in the southern end of the state. 😀
@@LawnJourneys yes. I was going to wait till June 1st to put down my first preventive app but already had a couple of fungus diseases going on a good 10 days ago. Ugh. I too purchased prop and azoxy liquid online.
@@LawnJourneys Thanks, it has started to recover some thanks to the rain and other watering I've done. My lawn has seemed to need a lot of water to keep it looking good.
@@brianluby8143 consider giving Hydretain or similar product a shot, I just put mine down (second season). Also bio stims and products that decompact soil, even surfactants. I think some people use baby shampoo, have to look it up. I’m sure you know, let water penetrate and promote deeper root growth. Helps with summer heat and stress.
@@LawnJourneys yea, I try to do longer heavier waterings early in the morning. I don't have irrigation so it's moving around sprinklers. I have thought about trying the hydretain. Last year periodically using pgf helped since it has humic and the humichar seemed to help. So far this year I haven't used that and have basically just been using the yard mastery blends like the 12-12-12 since I was phosphorus deficient.
I realize this video is 2 years old but, I'd like to know if you watered in the Azoxy and Humic 12. From what I understand about Azoxy is that it treats both kinds of fungus, foliar and systemic. I've never seen anything on the label that says to water it in after application but, the Humic 12 is supposed to be watered in. If you don't irrigate the Humic 12, it's not going to do anything, or at least that's my understanding.
Great question. I was thinking of doing a new fungus video this season. I use Azoxystrobin (Azoxy) 2SC Fungicide. The manufactuer directions address it as a systemic fungicide that should be watered in with 1/4" of H2O. I generally cut the lawn and apply same day or day after, then irrigate.
I applied Headway G ( contains both Azoxystrobin and Propiconazole ) 6 week's ago, then 3 weeks later I applied Clearly's 3336F. So, I think I'm due for another application. I may try the big box store product's this time, Scott's disease X and Bio Advanced fungus control. I may have waited a little to long, I'm not sure. At first I didn't see any fungus, but I may be starting to notice a little now, so I better get on it. I lost a bunch of my lawn last year to gray leaf spot, and had to reseed. I don't want to reseed 10,000 sq ft each year. Good video. Thanks
John: Appreciate the informative comment. I've heard of Headway G and should probably consider using it at my relatives lawn, which I care for on a monthly basis. I also heard about Clearly's 3336F just this year (a third mode of action). I've also used Disease X and Bio Advanced, both worked great. Amazon runs sales on Disease X so I always keep my eye out. We just had a week of rain here, my lawn was way too tall, cut it this evening. More rain coming tomorrow so glad I got my second round of Azoxy out last weekend. Good luck and keep on top of things.
I get fungus here in south Texas every year. But this it’s bad. Hope my st augastine doesn’t get kill. I’ve hittin disease x and the other stuff in blue bottle. Hope it stops. My yard looks like crap. I’ll buy these 2 products and just hand sprayer next.
If you have active fungus be sure to apply at the curative rat for both products. I did preventative and did have an outbreak of dollar spot in my rear yard. I should have upped to curative but hesitated. Had to spot seed the damage this fall. It’s frustrating I know. Good luck!
Thanks Joseph. Have not looked at those products but taking note and will look at for next season. This is why I enjoy sharing some vids. I find new methods and products talking to other DIYers. Thanks for commenting.
Great job with the fungicides! Been hot n muggy the last week and a half in Chicago. Going to get some relief for a few days coming up (then again the forcasters do lie constantly sooo)
That little walkway did fill in nicely. Lawn looks great. I used a combination of Disease Ex two weeks ago and Bio Advanced Fungicide today in granular. Had some dollar spot show up two days ago and didn't realize that the Disease Ex didn't treat dollar spot :(
Mac: I always recommend you read the application instructions provided with the fungicide and apply at the prescribed rate for the type of vegetation and targeted fungus. I've sourced Azoxy from multiple vendors and although the instructions are usually the same, I read them regardless to be sure I apply correctly. When you order the bottle you can usually read the directions and application instructions to be sure your ordering enough for the area you need to apply to. Thanks again for watching.
I know I mis spoke around 4 minutes and said "curative" when I was doing the "preventive." 0.38 Azoxystrobinoz per 1000 is approximately 4 oz to treat my entire 10k. Scotts Disease X is (0.31% Azoxystrobin) and directions state that one bag treats 5K, so I would be using 2 bags at the preventive rate. Let me know if this clarifies as I'd like to pin the comment to help anyone else. Thanks.
Carey instructions for azoxy is to water it in. I followed up with propiconazole 2-weeks later (I’ll share in a video), that says to let it dry on grass first, then water in. Azoxy is same ingredient as DiseaseX so if easy for you to spread granular that’s fine, but water it in to activate. Always follow the instructions and wear prescribed safety equipment.
Russ, I know azoxy does not prevent or cure dollar spots, however on a situation where dollar spots are already present, can I continue to use azoxy as preventive for other diseases and propiconazole as corrective for dollar spots? Just trying to understand if azoxy would have neutral effect on dollar spots or would actually make it worse. P.S. just a tip on the drill agitator, make sure to turn the power drill only when the tip is completely immersed and use medium speed, otherwise it's going to make lots of undesirable bubbles on the solution !
Humic12 was just part of my monthly bio-stim. Its convenient to apply it all at once, in the backpack, with whatever else I need to get out. With that said, not much mixes well with MicroGreene. Thanks for watching and be well.
Hi Russ! You mentioned in video you are applying the fungicide at the “curative” rate since you currently have no active fungus. Wouldn’t you mean to say “preventative rate” in this case then?
I did flub that, noticed it later myself. Yes I was applying at the preventive rate. Actually love your comment and thanks for watching. Going to run Propiconazole at preventive rate this weekend. 🙂
@@LawnJourneys Thanks! Any reason you prefer the liquid Azoxy versus Scott’s DiseasEx granular with same active ingredient? All the box stores carry that as well as Bayer Bioadvanced Propiconazole. Is Yard Mastery products more cost effective?
I wanted to try the liquid azoxy because I’m backpack spraying with biostims at the same time. It’s slightly cheaper too, mentioned in the video. I would still use granular Disease X and the Bioadvanced, same active ingredients and readily available. I like YardMastery but not pushing it. You’re good going with the products you mentioned. In fact I should remember to point them out in my next fungus installment, upcoming. Thanks again for commenting and good luck with your fungus prevention 👍
@@LawnJourneys Thanks again. I like having fresh product each year so I go with the other products with same active ingredient and apply them every 4 weeks.
I like the video but I don't like paying $120.00 for Azoxy when I can get the exact same formula in Atticus for $62.00. Sorry but we're talking more than just a few bucks here, and in todays economy every bit helps. :)
I watched this once quickly and later realized how much good information there was that I didn't really remember so I watched it again and took notes, so good stuff!
Thanks so much, appreciate the positive comments and glad to hear it was useful 😆
Great video Russ! I'm about to do the same in my lawn.
You can do it! Get out there!
Looks awesome
Thanks Rob, so far so good. Never know what mother nature may dish out. Hope your turf season is going well. Thanks for dropping a comment too!
I paid a little more for the granular form of Azoxy 50 WDG. You get about twice as much coverage.
Chris. I’ll take another look at granular Azoxy this season. I’m all in for getting more for my $$. What product did you use? Thanks!
You certainly didn’t get enough love for this video.. very well explained. Where in New Jersey are you?
Dave: Thanks for dropping a comment. I'm a small channel but have fun making videos. Appreciate the complement, I'm trying to provide more info/value . I'm in the southern end of the state. 😀
Excellent vid. Thanks. I live near you. Queens county, NY. So my situation is very much like yours.
Thanks. It’s worth the effort, fungus can really wreak havoc on the turf.
@@LawnJourneys yes. I was going to wait till June 1st to put down my first preventive app but already had a couple of fungus diseases going on a good 10 days ago. Ugh. I too purchased prop and azoxy liquid online.
Lawn's looking great Russ. Happy that heat broke the other day cause it was brutal out. I held off mowing to not stress the lawn out anymore.
Thanks Brian, sounds like a plan. Hope your lawn is doing well with the break in heat and some good rain.
@@LawnJourneys Thanks, it has started to recover some thanks to the rain and other watering I've done. My lawn has seemed to need a lot of water to keep it looking good.

Double punch fungicide. Nice work. Lawns looking 🔥
That’s the plan 😆
Azoxy is $69 on amazon for a pint. $120 is nuts.
Yes shop around. It is Expensive, but the usage rate is lower.

Hey, i like your videos. Have you considered other Azoxy products like Abound or Quadris?
Thanks Joseph. Have not looked at those products but taking note and will look at for next season. This is why I enjoy sharing some vids. I find new methods and products talking to other DIYers. Thanks for commenting.
Great job with the fungicides! Been hot n muggy the last week and a half in Chicago. Going to get some relief for a few days coming up (then again the forcasters do lie constantly sooo)
Summer is here. Keep an eye on the fugus and how much water your getting on the lawn (assuming you have no restrictions).
@@LawnJourneys my town does the even/odd restrictions. I only water every 4th day and do a 1/2" so I am not overwatering to attract disease
Hey Russ - we have it b a d in Minneapolis the heat had really cooked things up. Disease X at full rate when I get home 😎
Jayme. Yes cooled off but we had more rain yesterday. The battle begins. Good luck 👍
That little walkway did fill in nicely. Lawn looks great. I used a combination of Disease Ex two weeks ago and Bio Advanced Fungicide today in granular. Had some dollar spot show up two days ago and didn't realize that the Disease Ex didn't treat dollar spot :(
Good combo of course. Your turf looks spectacular. 👍
how much Azoxy 2SC would I use per 2 gallons of water to target Rust (Puccinia)
Mac: I always recommend you read the application instructions provided with the fungicide and apply at the prescribed rate for the type of vegetation and targeted fungus. I've sourced Azoxy from multiple vendors and although the instructions are usually the same, I read them regardless to be sure I apply correctly.

Nice.. like the zoom in and out transitions. Good both fungicide, solid choice🔥🔥🔥
Thanks. Trying to keep it interesting 😆
I think your math is a bit off. You compared Azoxy at full rate to Scotts preventative rate. For 10k sq feet you need 4 bags of that Scotts product
I know I mis spoke around 4 minutes and said "curative" when I was doing the "preventive."
0.38 Azoxystrobinoz per 1000 is approximately 4 oz to treat my entire 10k. Scotts Disease X is (0.31% Azoxystrobin) and directions state that one bag treats 5K, so I would be using 2 bags at the preventive rate.
Let me know if this clarifies as I'd like to pin the comment to help anyone else. Thanks.
Did you water in the fungicide app?
Or just let it sit on the grass blades
Carey instructions for azoxy is to water it in. I followed up with propiconazole 2-weeks later (I’ll share in a video), that says to let it dry on grass first, then water in. Azoxy is same ingredient as DiseaseX so if easy for you to spread granular that’s fine, but water it in to activate. Always follow the instructions and wear prescribed safety equipment.

From what I’ve learned Yes. ITV will still offer prevention to other fungal disease. Get it down 😆
You definitely don't need the humic 12
Humic12 was just part of my monthly bio-stim. Its convenient to apply it all at once, in the backpack, with whatever else I need to get out. With that said, not much mixes well with MicroGreene. Thanks for watching and be well.

Thanks. Absolutely purchase products where it's priced the best, I do too. When I made the video I spoke about where I got it at the time.
First! Lol
