I just found rust fungus starting in my lawn, too. We are actually early in having to deal with this fungus issue, due to the wonderful North Carolina weather!! Got to love it!! Thanks for sharing your experience and passion for having a great looking lawn, brother!! Keep these videos coming!!

Good information Mr Ferguson, thank you.

[@LeeW7233]

Thanks as always for the info. This is your channel...do it the way you need to. 👍🏽

[@tedallen5002]

Thanks as always! I need to place an order for both Propiconazole and Azoxystrobin.

[@robbobtheplucker3082]

Put down my Flagship about a week ago and just put down my Disease ex and have some rain coming in a couple of hours. Lawns looking pretty good right now. Glad I caught this video and some more great info to put down my propiconazole in another 7 days. Just checked the 011- YS. They no longer give you the ph meter or citric acid due to costs. Shocker. Thanks JB. LOL Thanks again for all your help Mr. Ferguson!!!!!

Love the details; I’m getting ready to do the same in Durham tomorrow. One thing you might want to add as a disclaimer for the folks just getting into lawn care (that I know you’ve mentioned in past videos) is the importance of following a class rotation beyond azoxy/prop for your fungicides because of resistance. I got floored 2 years ago just rotating between azoxy & propiconizole, but faired much better last year with fighting GLS by rotating between azoxy/prop (11/3) and daconil/ohp 6672 (M5/1). Keep up the good work!

[@davidcrowson4745]

Delt with the same last year... Applied Scotts disease ex and went back later with propiconazole. Great information Mr Ferguson.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Have a great one David!

[@nealwhite1474]

The rust in my TTTF seems to vanish as the temps warm up. It's gonna be in the mid-80s where I live which is very warm for this time of year. Great vid!

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Interesting. I haven't read that being the case, but hope it's true. Thanks for the input Neal.

[@williamjonson6845]

Try anti foaming agents as well.

[@GRASShole21]

Great tip. Wonder why the follow up prop is more effective in liquid form. I’ve applied the granular form of both products together as curative apps in the past and it’s worked well. I might try this method this year

[@Michele-rc4qf]

Thanks for the update. So it looks like I will need to get some disease X to complete my treatment. But now I noticed I have rust in my zoysia grass in the backyard. It must have spread from the wind like you mentioned. I have cool Weather grass in the front of my home that was inundated with rust And warm weather grass in my backyard . But we just adopted a puppy from a no kill shelter. I have to read that label for disease x now to make sure that it’s safe for him to walk on. Thank again , god bless .

[@MrFergusonLawn]

If in doubt, I would treat the lawn. Some say it will go away, but I've not read that personally, so I would treat the condition. That part is up to you! :)

[@Michele-rc4qf]

I plan to , already treated the front. Thanks

[@whosonfirst81]

Great vid. To your point, I live in NJ…if you have a fescue lawn in NJ you are guaranteed to get crushed with disease. Prevention is necessary or your lawn will suffer and money/time will have been wasted.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

I appreciate it. That’s my take too. I’ve invested too much time, money, effort and sweat into this work haha. I’m not wanting to risk screwing it up lol.

[@rogueonevo]

These are the moments that trouble me 😅... so avoid watering in before sunset or sunrise, though all I've ever heard and read was too avoid watering at the hottest part of the day due to things like quick evaporation..... seems like no matter what you read, there's always information somewhere that will say the opposite....😂

[@MrFergusonLawn]

You are right. However coming from NC State, I would trust their advice lol.

[@lynncheryl63]

Hey Mr Ferguson, Do you know if Talstar affects the earthworms in the ground? Trying to decide whether to use it in the yard or just around the house.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

I don’t. I would ask Google. It’s one of the safest products out there. I can say, I’ve used it multiple years now, and I still find earthworms in my lawn as before. They seem fine to me.

[@Piccolo_Re]

There are new grasses out there that are resistant to rust.

[@maltedbarley1]

Probably doesn’t matter but propiconazole is a group 3 I believe

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Thanks for the correction!

[@whatsay8406]

It sounds like NC state is saying don’t water in the day, but instead, water at night. It states don’t water after sunrise or before sunset, which is another way of saying, while the sun is out. Or, am I misunderstanding something?

[@MrFergusonLawn]

You want to water in the day, for sure! Night water is very risky, which can lead to fungus in the lawn. The best times are after sunrise through 3 hours or so before sunset. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do though.

[@whatsay8406]

@@MrFergusonLawnThanks!

[@cashrun1]

Are you interpreting Allyn’s recommendation like I am…in absence of azoxystrobin, make two applications of propiconazole a week apart? Thanks in advance

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Not at all. Use both if possible to totally cover yourself. Using only one of these leaves you vulnerable still.

[@cashrun1]

@@MrFergusonLawn ok. Got it. Thanks. I was hearing in differently. I’ll make note. Thanks again.

[@farquadshmoogle9120]

I would think when they say 'inadequate fertilization', they talking about potassium, since that nutrient helps the health of the grass

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Great point. That may be true as well. Poor K in the lawn could absolutely contribute, I would think. However, last soil test, my K was optimal...so not sure. Didn't think of that! Great input.

[@farquadshmoogle9120]

@@MrFergusonLawn I was saying instead of just N fert, to put down fert with N & K

[@farquadshmoogle9120]

@@MrFergusonLawn you treated it already tho, I wonder how it would've gone if you did a spot spray of potassium on a section to see how it would've reacted. Maybe that's something to try in a future vid.
