Allyn Hane - The Lawn Care Nut www thelawncarenut com CFungicides - they are in the top of topics questions I get asked here at LCN-HQ Interestingly enough after years at TruGreen-ChemLawn I don ? t know much about them Let me tell you a story In the late s and early s at TruGreen in Chicago we didn ? t often apply fungicides to lawns at least not for money Don ? t get me wrong in many cases they were needed Our quick release synthetic nitrogen fertilizer applications - - was a common analysis lbs lbN coupled with rushing yet intermittent early summer heat and humidity in late May and June were often lynch pins to the disease triangle thus releasing the scourge Dollar spot and to a lesser extent brown patch were evident most seasons If red thread was bad in spring of a year and turf scars persisted as they often did - lawns looked freckled and weak No one likes pink yellow or tan pock marks on their double dark KBG Nightmares So what would we do Not much For those who complained we ? d go out on a service call diagnose tell the customer to ??wait it out ? and ??mow tall catch the clippings irrigate only in the morning ?
