Fungicide

Does Lawn Fungicide Treatment Kill Good Microbes?

Most modern lawn fungicides are designed to be highly targeted, focusing primarily on combating the harmful fungi that cause diseases. However, using fungicides too often can upset the natural balance of beneficial microbes living in your soil. These microbes play an important role in keeping your lawn healthy and protecting it from disease.

That’s why it’s important to use fungicides only when necessary and in the right amounts. If you’re concerned about maintaining a healthy balance in your soil, we can recommend options, such as microbial soil treatments or compost teas, which can help restore and support the beneficial organisms your lawn needs to thrive.

Which Lawn Diseases Can Fungicide Treat?

Fungicide treatments are an important part of lawn care when fungal diseases are involved.

Common lawn issues we treat include:

• Large patch: Affects warm-season grasses, causing circular, brown patches
• Dollar spot: Creates small, silver-dollar-sized spots, especially in moist conditions
• Root rot: Damages the root system and can kill entire sections of grass
• Brown patch: Often shows up in humid weather as large, dead-looking circles
• Powdery mildew: Appears as a white, powdery layer on leaves

By identifying the exact disease, we choose the right fungicide to restore your lawn’s health and appearance.

What Fungicide Schedule Works Best for Disease Prevention?

Most lawn fungicides need to be applied every 14 to 21 days when diseases are most likely to develop, which occurs during the warmer months. For warm-season grasses, this means spring and summer, while for cool-season grasses, late spring through fall is the key period.

It’s best to start treatments early, before the weather becomes consistently humid or rainy, as this helps stop diseases before they even take hold. Following this schedule keeps your lawn healthy and looking its best year-round.
