For those of you who like when I go into detail, this is all about using store bought disease control. Right now, in Florida, Gulf Coast and Texas, if you have St Augustine or Zoysia, it’s important to apply preventative fungicides using what I have coined the “Bullet Proof Strategy” that uses two modes of action, Group 3 and Group 11.
Fungicides used in this video:
Bio-Advanced (Propiconazole)
https://amzn.to/3WRNuGi
Scotts DiseaseEx (Azoxysrobin)

In the video, Armada fungicide has “Bayer” on the label – however, it has a new look and a new distrubuter, ENVU. Here is the updated product. New Look but still the same active ingredients:

Need basic training on lawn care? I have some awesome training just for homeowners YardCareBootCamp.com
I was in Orlando last week and it was super nice and warm mid 80s! But almost every morning it was super foggy
I am liking this, a new upload every Sunday! I have been using this "bullet proof" strategy here in Chicago for the last couple of years and it works! Not trying to cause any issues with asking this but do you still have your 60V Super Recycler? Picked one up to try this year, very excited about it.
Thank you for the training. I see you have a Yarbo lawn robot. I cannot wait to see your review.
🗣️📣Throw’er down💯🇺🇸🤠 great classic LCN vid 💪🏼
How you going to fix drainage in the zoysia? Just bring soil in and regrade everything or like French drains or both
Nice smile at the end 😁
Hey Allen I was wondering what happend to all of your other mowers I don't see them in your garage anymore.
Loved the garage lights turning on and off..obviously motion detected
I have a while to go before I get back in the lawn living in Iowa
Im heading your way to fix your garage
It is not a SMOOTH looking grass. Looks coarse.
I wonder if you can get a reel mower on the short SA
Size matters. Why are your coach lights going on and off?
880 CFM was my nickname in college
I have been following this strategy for a couple of years, seems to work great on my floratam, however i consistently have diease problems on my Provista, im thinking about pulling the trigger on a FLUOPYRAM fungicide. Have you ever tried something like Broadform of Exteris? Would love to see a video on one of them.
Great video! How many days should I wait to put down these fungicides if I'm putting down pre emergent and compaction cure tomorrow? I live in South FL on the east side of the state.
Great video Al. Too early for preventative here in metro Atlanta where we're still dormant? I've been fighting disease the last two seasons like you and want to stay on top of it.
Because we are geographically close in the Bay area, it's helpful for me to see the disease, insect applications you do and when you apply them. It's all in the lawn guides. I just don't have a good feel for WHEN. The app is a breeze for fert but these 2 things can be a DIY struggle. Thank you!
Are you doing the bulletproof strat every month? I thought we were supposed to alternate groups every month to not have the pathogen build tolerance to the fungicide?
Wake up the neighbors. get their butts to church w/ a good Bahia grass call out!
Great video
Because of your jokes in the beginning, my first commercial was for generic Viagra. The phone is listening.😂😂
I just did all of this last week so i am up to date, but my question is when do I (what month) reapply my fungicides for preventative purposes? and would you recommend laying the scotts and bio together at the preventative rate, or rotating them?
Are you going to be adding fungicide and pest applications to the app calendar ?
I usually mow my ST.A lower in the spring time, then transition a little higher in the summer.
I might try to keep it on the lower setting because it does look sharper.
What do yall think? I live in Houston, TX not sure which variety I have, but I'd say Raleigh ST.A
Do you want to donate your old equipment 😁
I'm in Northeast Florida and my lawn is kind of starting to green up a little. Can I put down herbicide now or do I need to let the grass wake up a little more? TiA!
Also what is the best pre-emergent?
Since I started buying a bunch of Yard Mastery Fert, I went to Firehouse Subs and got a bunch of $3 buckets. So now every time I fertilize it smells like pickles and success!
Did you mention best time to apply Fungicide in Florida?
You're in Central Florida, so are you applying once in February or are you applying a 2nd time in a few weeks?
What up with your garage outside lights,😂😂😂
I haven’t apply fungicide on my St Augustine for the past 4 years and I haven’t had any desease. If ain’t broken don’t fix it.
Al did you apply the Armada the same time?
This is my second year with my florida st aug lawn and i am PUMPED about how things are starting for th year. That cold killing the stubborn weeds but not doing too much damage here in northern greater tampa has been a great opprtunity to get the st augustine to take back some real estate!
Southern fla lawn. Is it too early for 29-0-10?
That Bonus S
SOUTHERN
WEED & FEED is the best used it during the winter my neighbor across the street lost his Saint Augustine grass to weed lol mines are green in healthy Saint Augustine weed free the best way to mow. Your grass is sideways angles no more straight lines. I’m in Orlando fl central Florida trust me Scott’s Bonus S
SOUTHERN
WEED & FEED is the best I recommend people to stop cutting their grass while it’s wet cut it when the sun is out spring. It’s all most almost here people!!! fertilize now
We can call it Darth Image
