- Oh No! I Got BROWN PATCH in my Lawn!
I did not pre-treat the test plot hoping brown patch would show up. Good thing it did so I could make a video on how to cure it. Run full rate on both fungicides + Natural Adjuvant.

Here, here, here, here and here!!! Thought you were talking about my yard for a sec!
just dropped 650 lbs if lime into my lawn, hoping to bring the ph level up..cant wait to see the results
We had the same bunch of rain here in Maryland about 10 days ago, and brown patch has popped up EVERYWHERE. New experience for me, first year with a thick lawn. Thanks for being calm about this cause I was just about to lose it!
Ha ha. It’s part of basic lawn care for fescue. I’ve seen it a million times
Pete's the only man I know in the industry who is "hoping" for disease. Yo Pete, I've got plenty of Dollar Spot and Brown Patch up here in Central Jersey ;-)
Gained a sub. Great info. I am in a pickle, I suspect my front yard is dealing with some fungus. Had mushrooms but the lawn was green. Now it’s got some brown areas but nothing that looks like circles of brown. It’s more uniform areas of brown. Picked some grass blades and they seem to indicate some form of fungus but I’m not sure which one. I know my lawn is also due for nitrogen, but am afraid to apply because I know that could make it worse. I usually use feature powdered iron, 6-0-0, and urea. I use a battery powered sprayer. I just put some disease ex down. May just wait a couple weeks, apply more disease ex, then go from there. This stuff is a constant battle it feels like
I've seen LCN and others put the grass blade in the palm of their hand and fill the whole camera view with their hand, which makes the camera focus on close only. Holding the blade, the camera is still focused on the lawn down pass the blade of grass in your hand. I guess it will only focus on one or the other, so you have to trick it. That will save you from having to buy another camera.
I’ll try this
It's because it's focusing on your hand try using a dark towel or a dark colored piece of paper and set it on it and it'll focus in better on it don't use white because that's a white balance color we used to use when we white balance chart cameras
That's a very excellent point you have there. It may not be the camera, but just a simple laying the blade in top of the grass to show.
Hi Pete, looking forward to a follow-up video on your milk application.
Ordered your tall fescue mix gonna do my first ever renovation on my front yard. 7000sq feet. I’ll send in some before and after pictures! Thanks for all the tips
Those five grass blade examples were exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Good Morning ☀️ brother Pete..... it’s a hot one out here in Fresno California 112 yesterday and 110 today no rain 🌧 for us out here. God Bless You and your Family 🙏🏽
YIKES! That is hot
@@GCITurf very hot 🥵. I threw down some cool blue last Saturday it came up in 5 days . Summer seeding not the best time to seed but I thought I’d have a go at it. Happy Father’s Day Brother have a blessed weekend.
I love your intro music with the bass how it comes in
His intro is AMAZING. I also love the cross in the grass blade.. 🙏
Pete did the milk experiment work? Your cure mixture, use full rate of micro green and fungicide?
I was wondering the same thing 🤔
That's also my same question.
@@thewhiz7 I need to know
Same question as well.
I don’t have brown spot, but just ordered the protene! I think you’re good at sales because your products work well.
I try to not be good at sales. 😂. I’d rather the products speak for themselves
Sony A7 camera is the beast right now particularly for vlogging! God bless you Pete
I’ll look at one today. Thank you
Thanks so much for this video. I struggled on telling if I have heat street or brown patch. You been killing it this year.
I got 4 more videos loaded and ready to post this week. We been rollin over here 😎
Just wanted to drop a comment, yeah 2 years later, I know.......but....
The light bulb went on, got an understanding about brown patch and so on. Most importantly how to PREVENT, as well as to halt. Picked up those fungicides and applied. Now it's wait and see time. Anyway, been watching, want to say, Thanks.
OK Mr. Mess!😁 I am thankful for the explanation between stress and brown patch. Thanks for sharing all the different blades with fungus and what to look for. Enjoy your videos and your humor!
Hey Pete I got my protene today 😊😊😊😊. Hopefully my grass will be super green also on the 4th. The cool season guide is working beautifully on the cool blue. I also put your gci turf stickers on my new zero turn. People ask me about my yard all the time and just point to the sticker and tell them to see PETE THE MAN.
Hey Pete. I'm in your area and am having grass lay down after mowing. I've seen it in the past and assumed it was a sign of disease. I've done a fungicide application and have no lesions, however the grass still lays down. I blow it up when blowing driveway but just doesn't look good.
Hi Ocean,
Did u find a solution?
Hold your hand behind the grass. Camera is focusing on your hand or grass behind. Basically have the blade of grass flat on your hand
Sprayed Eagle 20EW and Micro Green yesterday evening, Looks better this morning
Good Morning Pete. ☕
Its a big investment but if you go dslr / mirrorless you'll hardly look at a gopro except for how much dust its collecting. I have a Sony A7sIII, same one Ron Henry, Lawn Tips, and a few others use.
I need to learn what the heck you are talking about 😂. I need to learn the camera lingo
@@GCITurf Its a big learning curve, but with your attention to detail, no doubt you could master them. im still learning all the time with mine and am just starting to get comfortable.
The “here,here,here” had me laughing 😂
Camera: Sony Alpha series (Sony a7riii (aka Sony a7r3 or Sony a7r mark 3), etc.. or Sony a6300) with a macro lens (e.g.. Tamron 35mm F2.8...).
Thanks for the reminder on the 6-0-0... Just placed my order hope the 14% gets my lawn popping!
MANNNN the KBG is looking......"BOOOOM".
thats what Im talking about
Shwoooo... I thought I heard "100 grand irrigation system".... It actually was "under ground irrigation system". Great advice again Pete!!
If your grass is not growing much in the summer, how do you really fix this, it never gets pushed out even when treated
@@ZupE891 I don’t think you can without it growing out. Not sure how you’d do that
I overseeded with blue heat last fall and have really bad brown patch and red thread over most of the front and back yard. One area that has almost no disease however is a soccer field area in the back yard that I reel mow at 1 3/4 inches! It looks perfect. Your short cut KBG seems to be looking great also.
Wonder if the shorter grass is less disease prone due to its ability to hold less moisture/dry out quicker after wet humid nights that disease loves. Makes me want to take both entire yards down short!
Hi Brian, did short cutting solve it?
You want a Sony a7r3 with the 90mm macro lens! You will see everything with that combo
Pete, I'm guessing there is little to no risk of spreading the Brown Patch considering you were stepping on it and holding it in your bare hands? Thanks for the treatment recommendation.
Wife's wondering about the state police shirt. She used to be a police officer up in Mass.
I thought just one circle and then gasped when you kept showing them. My only problem is my neighbor that mows his side (and gets into mine) of the strip between us with a WEED EATER completely to the ground because they don't care about their yard. Grrrr!
Hi Pete- will you spray curative rate for both azoxy (.77oz) and propico (2oz) or preventive rate (.38 and 1oz) with adjuvant? And only on the areas with sign of disease or the entire untreated yard? Finally, for brown patch will you let it sit on the grass blades for 24h before water in ? Thank you so much
Same question here
Nice video Pete. Looking forward to seeing results. 👍🏼
Morning !☕️
To much detail man . Just tell us the basic. Not all people can afford all that fancy products
Hahaha
Lowes us more expensive per sq ft my boy.
It's only been a short time, but any changes from the milk? Also from my experience KBG can get brown patch but also is susceptible to rust and leaf blight among others.
For up close shots, take a still shot and import it in the videos
A Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S with a Panasonic Lumix G Macro 30mm. That would get the job done! Definitely the best.
How did the milk work? Something else that I'm not sure if it would work on brown patch, but that does work on powdery mildew and other funguses is 1 part original Listerine to anywhere from 2 to 4 parts of water.
Why does you grass have all kinds of stripes on it? Is it mowing, fertilizing or just the camera?
@@Kevin-mm6xm my mower creates the stripes
Good video, Pete. Thanks for sharing.
Happy Father's Day, Pete, and to all the Dads out there!!! 😁👍🍺
Pete, what application rate for the Protene Hybrid Summer fertilizer 6-0-0?
Per the product description. The application rate is 6 pounds per 1000 square feet or as low as 3 pounds per 1000 square feet.
Dumb question… Should I continue to water the treated lawn during hot weather while the lawn has a fungus?
Personally I would continue to water and apply a fungicide
After watching this video I have no specific idea of what you are putting on the lawn to deal with the brown patch. A huge amount of verbiage but little on specifics. Too bad - a lost opportunity.
That intro was hilarious!
Hey Pete, have you ever used natural treatments that bring microbes to the soil to get the good fungus to overpower the bad fungus? Things like compost, Compost tea, earthworm castings, or directly sprayed microbes.
Chris, "Exactly correct". Soil Health.
Good day Pete, pray all is well.
I was looking at a label of
Fungicide and could not wrap my head around the mixing and application amounts ?
In particular Azoxy 2SC Select.
I was trying to figure out what size bottle to purchase. I have 18k sqft and a very active fungus problem. I already applied Eagle 20ew which was pretty straight forward on instructions 1.2oz per Gallon per 1000 sqft?
If im reading the Azoxy label right its .77 oz per 2g per 1000 sqft?
Live in TN and got the same heavy rain you got. Good video but I'm still not sure if I got fungus. *Should I just throw down fungacide anyway?*
1st year w/ my newly seeded (spring) fescue / rye / kbg yard.
Just got my package from GCI thanks 🙏
Hey Pete, question for you if you can answer - reading label I see between 2 and 4 gallons of water per 1k SF, but from what I can gather on your videos you are using a low rate. Is there risk of burning lawn, or is it your adjuvant letting you use the low carrier rate? Thanks man
Pete just curious as a sport guy why do you prefer your turf in your yard so tall. As a turf nut I prefer that baseball outfield look or even fairway look. I know you love stripes but stripes can look good as in MLB baseball fields. Love your videos!
It's because he's in North Carolina (what's known as the transition zone) and has Fescue grass for his main yard/house. Other grasses he talks about are on his test plots. During this time of year it gets 90-100 degrees plus and fescue is a cool season grass that has a hard time in those high temps. It can withstand the heat better in the summer at a taller height, 4"+. You can go shorter when it's not so hot but it tends to do better at taller cut heights.
@@jamessullivan8300 you said this perfectly
Hey (Pete) @ GCI Turf Services got a quick question about what to use to take out Florida Pusley. Live in Florida and have a difficult time ridding my yard of this obnoxious weed. Thank you in advance for any help or suggestion you might provide.
Nice job Pete! I was wondering if you like this idea of adding sea kelp and air8 with the fungicide?
Dollar spot in KBG seems to be my problem in Jersey. The last 2 years I'm getting some mycelium that resembles Pythium in my opinion but I am no expert by any means. Always something
Pete can you use both group 3 and 11 fungicides Spray at the same time in the tank. If you can how much of each do you use say.... 1000 Sq feet?
How did that milk test work out??
how much of each product are you putting into your sprayer? I used the fungicide from your "elite" guide in my sprayer for brown spot but I see no changes to the disease on my lawn?
Very helpful video. Thank you!
Thanks for this information
Hey bro I’ve used bluegrass the passed 2 seasons for overseeding you think I should throw some rye in the mix?
Great video , thanks Pete !
Anyone else reminded of the scene in the Disney Aladdin movie (cartoon) when genie says “emergency exits are here here here here here here here”
Lol
I was always told once you see brown patch then it’s to late to treat? Is this not true?
What type of grass is that
Sacrificing to teach us. Thank you sir
Love you bro. Thanks!
@@GCITurf love you too bro. God bless and have a great Father's day weekend
Protene fertilizer, at what rate would you apply the protene in June? Would a good rate be half pound of nitrogen to 1 pound of potassium to a 1000 square feet? Or would that be to high a rate on the potassium side of it. Thinking of ordering some. But not sure of how to apply in early summer.
4 pounds per 1000 on the 12-0-24
Love the intro my friend!
How do you know if it is hear stress or brown spot if the whole lawn is brown ish? I’m trying to get my lawn back as the previous owner had a TON of weeds and no grass
Pick some grass blades in the most brown areas and look for lesions and needling. If it’s as widespread as you describe, and you have been hot and dry, it’s likely heat stress. From my experience, it’s takes 2 to 3 years of consistently following Pete’s program to build your Turf’s heat stress tolerance, so it will make it through summer without a lot of heat stress. Your soil will be less compacted, and the root zone will be deeper over time, so the grass can access deeper moisture . I hope this all makes sense. Patience and consistency is key.
morning coffee video.. very nice!
I have dogs. Is there a way to tell if it's pet spots vs brown patch?
Red thread like crazy in Maryland right now. It's insane . No brown patch though
ive got that in my yard as well i use eagle fungicide it works well here in CT
Curious if you can transfer the fungus with mower to other areas?
Definitely. And the hassle of bagging to avoid spreading it further adds to the misery.
Is it possible to get by with just the propiconazole? I checked out the azoxystrobin and I am not sure that will fit in the budget.
You should be ok with just that. Azoxy is expensive as hell. Although, Scott's Disease Ex is azoxystrobin and not to expensive.
I would use both at a2 week intervals👍🏻😎
You can but let me ask you one question. How many square feet of lawn do you have?
@@GCITurf i got 15k of yard and also have a hard time justifying azoxystrobin cost
@@huntsw I understand friend. Look at it this way and it might help you see what I’m talking about. At the full rate that $300 jug will cover 4 acres. That’s $75/acre. Your yard is roughly 1/3 acre which makes your cost $25. The gallon jug would give you 12 applications.
Im not trying to get you to buy it I’m trying to get you to understand how I view chemical cost 😎
This example is not using natural adjuvant.
Great video - instead of buying a new camera, why not show the grass on the palm of your had using a magnifying glass - just a thought! 👍🏻👊🏻😉🔎
Hi Pete,
I just have a quick question about fungus. I have a patch in my front lawn which had the same rusty colour last summer. I’ll assume it’s fungus because deep watering didn’t clear it up. There’s another section with mushrooms. Why is one fungus a problem but mushrooms are not a concern?
Thanks!
Many, many, many different types of fungus. Some are harmless and even brown patch is relatively harmless. Come fall the turf would grow through the brown patch but it'd be ugly all summer. Diseases like pythium blight, necrotic ring spot and a variety of root rot type diseases will kill your turf permanently. Fungus is in your soil and when conditions are correct it will take advantage and give you problems.
@@JeffSmith-eq3kc when it happens to you, what actions do you take?
It’s nice to see even the best lawns get lawn disease. Been fighting red thread and brown patch here in Jersey
Brown patch is bad on Long Island right now too. As if the poa wasn’t bad enough this year…
Pete- love your channel! I have a question for you that maybe some other viewers would like to know.
Will it hurt to spray a fungicide if you don’t know if you really need it. Will it harm healthy grass or discolor it?
No. It’s just preventative…. He even said it at the beginning. I usually put some out at end of June because rain is awful in my area in July
I got some now after rains and high humidity, so I guess I will apply.
I had some seed in that I was watering everyday.
Sony A7III
As a Sony A7III user I highly recommend!!
Pete, what rates are you using?
Love the curtains! Where did you purchase them? 🤔
Lowe’s
What ever came of the milk experiment?
I got severe dollar spot on my Bermuda right now. You have multiple different fungicides on your website. Which one is best for Bermuda to cure?
Propiconazle
@@charleswilson2744 what about for a preventative?
I really wish I could afford these products
Hey Pete!
I've got those patches I thought it was grubs
im already seeing signs of brown patch
How many videos you going to make about the same subject brother????? ;)
I’m taking request. Lol. What you want to see a video on? I need ideas anyways 😎
You need a 4K or 8k camera
4K would be cool
Overwatering and rain...dont ask me how I know.....People who rarely water their lawns...never get this...
I live in central Kentucky would the cool season guide work for me?
It most certainly would
I wish you could come to my house and help me with some stuff
Scott’s Disease EX.?? Ok
Here...🤣
Oh my…TMI, TMI!
