Questions are coming in about the timing of the first application of fungicides for Summer Patch. Usually the recommendations are for the first application to go down when:
- Soil temperatures are 65°
- At a 3 inch depth
- For 3 consecutive days
Due to the unusual warm weather and the likelihood that a cool down will occur, it may be wise to wait a bit longer for the first application. Also some researchers are recommending waiting until soil temperatures are closer 70-75° F before making the first application.
