Questions and Answers for BIOADVANCED 10 lbs. Granules Fungus Control for Lawns

A:  According to the package, yes. It states, "...can be applied after seeding or at seed germination."

A:  If you are treating an active lawn fungus we would recommend not seeding until the fungus has been controlled. You may reseed 3 weeks after application. If applying to new grasses you would want to have mowed at least 3 times to ensure that the new grass is established. Jessica

A:  I think the short answer is yes you can. I have used this product in the fall many times but my overseeding of Rye grass seed for the winter usually comes a bit later in the fall - after my fungus has either moderated or has already devoured my yard.

A:  You can use it anytime. It is probably needed more during the rainy season as fungus often occurs where it's wet for a long time.

A:  You may apply as long as temperatures are between 50-85 degrees. Once the product has been watered in and allowed to dry completely it does become rain proof however we do recommend applying when rain is not expected for 24 hours to allow ample dry time. We recommend watering in manually with 1/4-1/2 inch of water for best results of the product. Jessica

A:  Hi, Yes you can water it in as asoon aS IT WAS PUT DOWN Fungus is very tricky are tyou cutting the grass with your own mower if so just make sure you clean the underbase . If you are having someone else cutting the lawn (SERVICE) they can pick up the fungus from any other customer.and spread on your lawn.If ever you are uncertain go on line and put the product name and follow any insruction they give you HAPPY CUTTING AND wear a mask.

A:  Yes but it should be applied when the grass is somewhat dry and given a chance to settle before being watered in.

A:  I have and it seems to work as well. I caution “rainy season” means how much over what period. It does work into the dirt as well.

A:  I have a very large St Bernard....never an issue. I DO, however, water it in before she goes back out (just to get the granules to the soil)

A:  Yes, once the product is watered in and allowed to dry then pets can re=enter the area.

A:  Yes and no. You can put it down and water it in after a persons. From the time you put it down till it’s been watered in and DRY, you should Not allow pets on the grass.

A:  I also have a dog. Once I put down the fungus control I hosed down the lawn. I have used it 3 times this season, there were no adverse effects on my dog. Hope this helps. Kate

A:  To keep pets safe while using the product we recommend keeping them out of the area during application and once watered in and allowed to dry completely it will be safe for pets to reenter the treated area. Jessica

A:  I don't know about the irrigation feeder. Maybe it's in the fine print on the bag or do a chat with a Bioadvanced rep. It's easy to put on with a spreader though. It DOES come in a liquid form from Bioadvanced (as a bottle to attach to your hose). Works well, but you should probably turn your faucet up to only a third or so, and really pay attention to how much is left in the bottle as you walk.

A:  For best results of the product we would recommend applying using a drop or rotary spreader. You will use either 2-3.5 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft. depending on if you are using as a preventative or a curative. After spreading the granules you will need to water in with 1/4-1/2 inch of water to activate the fungicide. If you should need further assistance with this issue please feel free to reach out to us at 1-877-229-3724. We are available Monday-Friday 8:30-5 PM (CT). Jessica

A:  This product most definitely comes in many liquid forms - premixed in spray bottles and a concentrated version in a non-spray bottle. A simple search on the internet will show you all of the BioAdvanced options that are readily available at most retailers in your area. The granular version you are asking about might work in your inline irrigation feeder but I am not totally sure. If it were to work, the granules would have to dissolve properly in the system for an even disbursement over your yard and I would think this could lead to clogging issues within your system and not sure how you would keep it filled with the granules long enough to have any significant effect. To know for sure, you would have to contact the manufacturer for a higher level of support hoping they have tested for your situation and could give you an answer based on their research and testing. Good luck.

A:  I would not. Each has the specifications for how thick it should be spread. Mixing them means you’re going to compromise one for the other. I would spread one and then spread the other separately.

A:  While we do not recommend combining our products with others or applying at the same time, an insecticide may be applied once BioAdvanced Fungus Control For Lawns has been applied, watered in and has dried. -Madison

A:  Jeff, I don't think there is a difference but in my opinion the granular would last longer. We tend to have a lot of rain in the northeast . The spray is easier and you need a spreader for the granular. Hope this helps. Kate

A:  Hi Jeff! Both the spray and the granule use the active ingredient of Propiconazole to control listed lawn fungus so you can use whichever version would be more convenient for you to apply. You may apply every 2 weeks as needed to control an active fungus or monthly when used as a preventative. Jessica

A:  Thankfully, the product is just a fungicide and would not harm the turf unless the outdoor temperatures would happen to exceed 85 degrees before watered in and allowed to dry completely. Jessica

A:  Yes if it was down heavy it could possible y burn when it happens put on the area plenty of water

A:  DGM, You should always wet the lawn once applied. There should be no adverse reactions. Hope this helps. Kate

A:  Hi, The best thing is to follow the directions on application of the product, but the answer your question would be to contact Bioadvanced at to what will happen if too much was applied. mtnarts2

A:  Worried, I have put this down 3 times and I still have a few mushrooms. It did help but if you have not of trees you still may get some mushrooms. Hope this helps. Kate

A:  I've used this product about 4 years and my experience has been that it can "help" but not prevent mushrooms. I've never had great success with any particular method. I've tried vinegar and water in a spray bottle, and it works, but you have to be careful because it'll kill grass as well. Most of the time I end up using an old 'Hula Hoe" from the '70's and cut them.

A:  It should control mushrooms and toadstools because they are the fleshy spore-bearing fruiting body of fungus that are produced above ground or on its own food source. The gills of the mushroom produce microscopic spores which is how they spread. Hope this helps!

A:  Unfortunately, it will not. We do not currently have a product on our line that will control mushrooms in your lawn. Mushrooms are a natural occurrence usually caused by organic decaying material beneath the soil. Jessica

A:  Doubtful but the source of your mushrooms could be part of the issue as well. If from a decaying root below lawn, mushrooms will be inevitable based on my experience. I have not seen a decrease or elimination of mushrooms when I have used this product.

A:  Hi, Doug. We recommend waiting 1-2 days after mowing to apply BioAdvanced Fungus Control For Lawns. -Madison

A:  Yes I recommend mowing your yard first so that the granules can be dispersed into the lawn near the ground. After application you are to water the fungus control into the lawn.

A:  Yes you can mow before just keep the grass high so it dont burn and water after the product has been put down ( do not cut lower than 4 inches )

A:  I do every time I put it on. It just seems to help the granules get to the soil faster, which is what you want. And water it in as soon as you can. That helps even more.

A:  I see no reason why mowing the lawn BEFORE application would be a problem. Perhaps you would want to wait at least a few days AFTER applying product before you mowed next time.

A:  This product is a fungicide only that is designed to control listed lawn fungus. If the fungus is caught early it is possible that the grasses will recover on their own. If the grasses have died you may reseed 3 weeks after the fungus has been eliminated. Jessica

A:  Please consult a professional if your entire lawn is brown. If your lawn has brown patch, a fungus, this product will resolve a fungal issue.

A:  This product works and this seems like a question better answered by the manufacturer because it requires product knowledge. It's a great product though it works!!! Bioadvanced: 1.877.229.3724

A:  This is a product that kills and controls certain varieties of fungus. Depending on the variety in your lawn, the grass will green back up very quickly (as with rust and red thread) or over time (with some care) with types like brown patch. If the grass is injured, it can bounce back fairly quickly. If grass areas have died, you'll want to consider re-seeding the area when it's cooler. I know what you are asking, but it really depends on the fungus type. Some come back faster with nitrogen applications and others with better weather conditions. It just varies.

A:  Based on my experience with fungus in my grass, the Bioadvanced Fungus Control stopped the fungus from spreading. Once the fungus is under control, the grass will grow back on its own. This product does not grow grass. It kills the fungus that attacks the grass.
