Fungicides come in granular and chemical form. Certain lawns deal with fungus issues from time to time. Most common when we are having warm summer nights. Brown patch is the most common fungus we see in Tall Fescue grass. 

Fungicides are best used as a prevenitive, but are also used to treat existing fungus. Different products treat for different amount of time. For example one product may last two weeks and another product last four.

With the topics of chemicals, this is an area where our staff really shines at Dickens. Many of our employees have a landscape, golf or sports field background. We have personally worked with these products for years with success. 

When choosing the right product there are many factors to consider. 

Target weed: What kind of lawn you have, outside temperature, application method and surroundings are just a few variables. 

Application rate: An important variable. Jug A may be half the price of jug B , but the price to treat an acre with jug A may cost double because the application rate may be higher.    Application rate is where our product knowledge comes in! We are happy to help you whether you are just treating your lawn, or you have 600 acres worth of home lawns to treat. 

Surfactants are mixed with herbicides to help them stick to the plant when applied. By using a surfactant you will make your treatment much more effective. 

Insecticides come in granular and chemical form. We carry several options for insect control. From common ants to an armyworm invasion we have products to help!

Growth Regulator is a great option when you need to think outside the box. There are options for turf and plants. Maybe you have a hillside that has to be treated for weeds, and man power is an issue, if you apply growth regulator, that grass would only need cut once per month instead of every week. With labor challenges this can be a valuable option for landscape companies. 

You could use the same idea with pruning shrubs, you could apply growth regulator to slow down the pruning needs. These are some things our staff can help walk you through product and application.
