Best Fungicide For St Augustine
Introduction
The “Floratam” is among the most common of the S. Augustine grass varieties and is considered to be a strong, durable, and resilient lawn – perfect for Florida’s warm weather. While its thick blades create an attractive ground cover that’s resistant to foot traffic, it also has some weaknesses.
Because Floratam St. Augustine is susceptible to certain diseases like leaf spot and brown patch fungus, you may need fungicides if your lawn develops symptoms of these diseases. Fungicides are available at local garden centers or online in liquid or granular formulations. Here we will share with you our top 4 picks for the best fungicides for St. Augustine grass!
Baking soda and water mixture
Mix one pound of baking soda with one gallon of water in a bucket. Pour the mixture over the St Augustine grass, making sure to cover it evenly. Let it dry and then water as usual. Repeat every two weeks to keep your lawn looking its best.
Chlorothalonil
Chlorothalonil is a broad-spectrum fungicide used to prevent and control fungal diseases on turfgrass. It is available in two formulations: Wettable Powder (WP) and Liquid Concentrate. Chlorothalonil works as a contact fungicide with systemic activity, meaning it will move through the plant after it has been applied topically. You should apply chlorothalonil prior to symptoms of disease development, during periods of high humidity or rainfall when conditions favor fungal growth and spread, and any time you suspect an early infection in new lawn areas. The application rate depends upon product type but typically ranges between 2–4 pounds per acre for both WP and LC formulations depending on your specific situation (for example whether you have previously treated your St Augustine grass).
Propiconazole
Propiconazole is one of the most effective broad spectrum fungicides available today. It is effective against many fungal diseases including powdery mildew, downy mildew, rust and leaf spot.
Cleary333 Trio
Cleary333 Trio is a fungicide that is used to treat powdery mildew, rust and other fungal diseases. It’s water-soluble and can be used on residential and commercial lawns.
Cleary333 Trio is a combination of three active ingredients: Fosetyl-Al, Triforine and Gafron. This combination works together to kill fungi by preventing them from synthesizing proteins necessary for survival.
Be sure to read the label on each product.
Be sure to read the label on each product before using. Different fungicides are labeled for different plants, and some can only be used in certain seasons.
