Lawn Fungicides (62 items found)

You work hard to maintain your lawn, but many types of fungi can cause significant damage to your grass and plants. Fortunately, Ace Hardware carries a variety of fungicides for lawns to keep your yard looking its best, with options from Ferti-Lome, Bonide and other brands.

What Is Lawn Fungicide?

Fungicides are used to prevent or control the spread of fungal diseases. Once a fungi-related disease has taken control of your yard, repairing the damage can be a costly and time-consuming task. Applying fungus treatments for lawns can kill the source of the fungi and help restore your yard to pristine condition.

Although lawn fungicide treatments cannot completely restore a lawn that's already been affected by fungal disease, the products may prevent the disease from spreading further and may help plants recover quicker.

Types of Lawn Fungicide

Fungicides come in a large variety of application types including powders, liquids and granules.

• Liquid fungicide: Ready-to-use liquid fungicide sprays are great options for tackling small and specific areas with ease.
• Fungicide concentrates: Great for large-scale application, liquid fungicide concentrate is diluted before being applied. It is easy to apply after it is mixed, in a variety of hand-held and other portable sprayers.
• Fungicide granules: Although slower to work than liquid fungicides, granular fungicides benefit from being applied less frequently than liquid versions. They are applied with drop or broadcast spreaders.
• Fungicide power: Can be used as a powder or in a spray, sulfur dust fungicide is another type of fungicide option and is acceptable for organic gardening.

When identifying the best fungicide for your lawn, understanding the different properties of lawn fungicides is important.

Should You Use Fungicide Treatment?

Certain types of fungi are prevalent in different climates and regions of the United States. If your yard has a lawn disease caused by fungi, you may notice large brown patches in your grass during warm summer months. Yellow grass blades accompanied by dark, fuzzy spots can also be an indication of lawn disease. In these instances, applying grass fungicide or a fungicide for plants may prevent further damage to your lawn.

Preventative Vs. Curative Fungicides

Preventative and curative fungicides are both available in liquid, granular and concentrated forms, but they differ in how you should use them:

• Preventative fungus treatments for lawns are made with ingredients designed to keep grasses and plants from initially becoming infected with a fungal disease.
• Curative lawn fungicide treatments are designed to slow down the growth of the fungal disease and prevent it from spreading.

Contact Vs. Systemic Lawn Fungicides

Contact lawn fungus control products remain on the surface of grass and plants and are not fully absorbed. These fungicides are useful for creating a protective barrier against fungal diseases where treatments have already been made. Many contact fungicides are broad spectrum, meaning they can treat an array of fungi.

Systemic fungicide sprays and powders work to protect and prevent fungal diseases. These fungicides are fully absorbed into grasses and plants upon contact. Many narrow-spectrum fungicides are system, meaning they can be safely absorbed into grass or plants.
