FUNGUS CONTROL SCHEDULE - 2 times a year

1	July - September
	Gray Leaf Spot is a blotchy spot on the grass blade leafs (mostly on St. Augustine lawns). Use fungicides like Daconil or Consan.

Note 1: Some Texas residents, usually in April/May may notice salt-and-pepper-like blotches on their St. Augustine. It may look as if someone threw an oily substance on their grass. This is an indication of fungal spores coming up at a rapid rate. Simply use some Consan Triple Action 20 and apply to a whisk broom or small straw broom and sweep the residue off of your grass. That's it.

2	September - October
	To control the dreaded Brownpatch fungal disease (symmetrical brown circles in the grass) you must prevent it from coming up, with a systemic lawn fungicide with Bayleton, Terrachlor or Benomyl.

Note 2: Use products with Bayleton to prevent Brownpatch. If you already have Brownpatch, use products with Terrachlor to control it. Remember, Brownpatch is more likely to occur when it starts getting cool at night; therefore if you are suspect of it in the summer time...its probably not Brownpatch, but rather insects (see chart).
