- Well things have changed quickly around here since the fungicide video release! Stuff happens sometimes no matter what you do or how you prepare! Today in this video I am going to show you folks that me or no one else is immune to problems! Most folks want show these issues but as always I am as transparent as I can be with you and it happens! I will get it fixed and regroup!
Timely video. Thank you.
Awesome video brotha!!! 🤙🏼 Thank you for putting this out!!!
Just keeping it real! Thanks for watching!
I have some fungus in moms yard in Culpeper Va and am running Annew PGR on it. Hopefully it will rebound soon because the last app was about 3 weeks ago. I have hit it hard with axystrobin and and wanting to take it down to two inches so and power rake but then the heat and drought will be here. The plan with the PGR was to grow deeper roots so as to survive the heat stress that is on the way Keep us updated thanks.
Every time I watch your videos I'm amazed at the sharp border between the lawn and the landscape. How do you keep it so clean and keep the grass from creeping into the rocks?
Thank you! I edge quite often typically every time I mow or the day before or after. Sometimes I cheat and do it every other mow lol
Thanks for sharing
One thing I do in this situation is to go over the lawn with a blower to lift the blades back up after mowing. This helps with wheel tracks that can cause fungal issues. The only thing you lose is stripes but it’s worth it and also creates a different type of look that I actually like.
I do that on a regular basis also! Does help but unfortunately when you are in it as much as me with a 1,100 pound mower and a sprayer pushing 1600 pounds it just puts a lot of wear and tear on it! I can’t stop spraying but I can stop double cutting to limit it some.
There no one else besides you and pete that show the bad side and thats things people like myself need to see that it can happen to even the pros and you just have to keep at it thats good stuff man
It happens and if they ain’t showing it they are not being transparent!
Ya just got to my daughter's fescue and we got it too in middle TN. Been wanting to spray a preventative but any time I can get here it's been too windy for a backpack sprayer.
I imagine you are getting the same rain as I am here in western NC
@@Primetime_Fescue absolutely the same weather. Great channel man
I wonder if cutting it short might help it air out some more? Thanks for sharing the ups and downs, stuff happens. Best of luck to ya!
Done that and some other stuff you will see in next video. The fungus is stopped the issue is it’s still on growth regulator so it’s not growing much and I can’t cut the brown completely out yet
Good video I'm right there with you I tried cutting back on my fungicide app to help resistance and that backfired what do you do if you put down fert right before leaf spot I was going to throw some amend iron out on next fungicide app thanks again for sharing
@@Primetime_Fescue That's why I stopped using growth regulators. Each time I did, I would get hit with a fungus and it would take double the normal time to grow out of it. Not worth it.
@brandoncasner3221 noting you can do a little fert will help it grow out. Sometimes it doesn’t matter what you do! Mother Nature will win in the end!
@Tundra_Guy there’s definitely a risk that’s a fact! Bad thing is they can’t predict the weather ever anymore lol so the planning of anything is basically just a guess at the best and a lot of hope!
It's not supposed to rain tomorrow. Do you think spraying propiconazole after I mow is a bad idea or only spray? Thanks bro good stuff
Thanks for sharing, I'm curious how do you think you got that rye grass?
In the seed 100% no seed imo is completely clean a blue tag cert is noting honestly! They typically pull 200 grams of seed out of a huge lot and test 50 grams of that that for weeds then they pull 5 grams out of that and test for purity which is the other crop etc. if you can find gold tag sod quality seed that’s tested at 50 grams instead of 5 I do believe
What is your recommended height of cut in summer for tall fescue? Thanks, love your channel.
I mow mine at 3” but I do have irrigation. I would say if you have irrigation 2.5 to 3.5 and if you don’t then you will have to be 4” plus honestly to have a chance. Obviously that’s depending on if you’re getting rain if you don’t have irrigation! If you are then I would try to keep it somewhere in the 3.25 to 3.75” range
That is exactly what i have going on i didnt know what disease it was but thats what my fescue looks like yellowing blades and even some brown in with the yellow ...i started prop. And azoxy....hoping it helps also should i add a little bit of nitrogen or will that make it worse ive read nitrogen can make diseases worse??? ....love ur videos brother glad i found them God bless
I would get it stopped first then add some in to help it grow out of it!
@@Primetime_Fescue roger that....thank u sir
I'm sorry to see this Brad! That is the exact same looking stuff I deal with in my lawn every year. I've went through two apps of azoxystrobin already 14 days apart and it was looking great for about two weeks and now it's starting to come back. We've just had a ridiculous amount of rain the past two weeks. I guess it's time to rotate to the TM 4.5 cause I can't keep using the azoxy. Hoping that will help some with this.
Mix prop in with it don’t use tm4.5 on this you would absolutely be wasting it
@Primetime_Fescue I've already used two apps of propiconazole before the apps of azoxystrobin. Is that too early to bring that back into rotation? Also, when mixing the two should I still use the curative rates for both?
@Sir_Mack absolutely not I mix them together about the whole year. You got 2 modes of action to help fight resistance. Honestly that’s about the only thing you can do. Save the tm4.5 for gray leaf spot
@Primetime_Fescue So should those be both mixed at the curative rates together?
@Sir_Mack you can if you have an outbreak or extreme disease pressure but I would try to always do low rate if possible when the pressure isn’t extreme!
We had 11 inches of rain last week here in middle Tennessee and my yard looks really sick. Very spotty and yellow.😢😢😢
I haven’t had that much but I had 5.2” from May 1st until May 9th and it’s back raining again for the next 4 days
I can confirm the ridiculous amount of rain in middle TN, I live there too. It's been almost every day and unfortunately it's mostly late in the afternoon or evening so the lawn stays wet all night.
My fescue looks like that most of the year. Never really seems to die, just gets a little yella.
What short bushes have you planted at the edge of your lawn towards the road
Those are bluestar junipers
Thanks so much
I have the same in my front yard. I applied disease ex at the curative rate of 4 lbs per thousand. Not seeing a huge difference after a week so not sure what else to do.
If you have stopped it from getting worse then the brown will have to be mowed off which can take several weeks unfortunately! Keep applying preventative fungicides if you can
@@Primetime_Fescue ok. I plan on using propiconazole next month and then back to disease ex in July. Fingers crossed
@@DRTOLLZ liquid axozy works better than the granular disease ex
@@butchbr73 should I spray azoxy or try propiconazole instead? If it looks like the disease ex didn’t work. We’ve been getting a lot of rain so that’s not helping either
@@DRTOLLZ depends on the disease you are targeting. Liquids are much much better than granular for fungicides. That was my only point. If you are applying disease ex, you’d be better off spraying axozy - active ingredient in disease ex. Works a whole lot better.
Like your videos what kind of rock you have in your borders.
That’s 1 to 2” Virgina river Rick
Where in NC are you
Lenoir
Hate that happened. Im in Locust NC. We have had about 9" of rain in the last 2 weeks. Mine is under regulation as well. You applied anuew 4 weeks ago? Should be coming out soon i hope!
@ericrodrigues4758 hopefully this week! More issues struck today 🤣🤣 I filmed some of it!
That’s what you get for trying to be cute 😂 💀
That’s what I get 🤣🤣
