The lawn battle contines... I now have some dollar spot on my existing grass including the new baby grass that I just planted with an overseed and spot patching. I think it probably developed with me trying to keep my seed wet. Anyway, I know most fungicides will kill my new grass before it hits 4+ weeks but in some areas the dollar spot looks to be killing my new grass. I can't win! Any advice on how to treat it or with what products if any?

Thanks.

I think you are confusing herbicides with fungicides. I read the label on mine and it doesn't say anything about new seedlings and fungicide. I checked the Scott's fungicide label as well and it makes no mention (they usually are very specific about new grass).

I was reading my propiconazole label the other day and it said something about being able to help early root development on turf grasses when sprayed at 1 oz/K. I would think you'd be ok depending on the product and the applied rates.

Most labels don't mention it but I recall reading it somewhere. I called Bayer today and they recommend for their granular and ready to spray waiting until 3 mowings before applying. I am using Blag Flag ready to spray with insect killer and the AI is propiconazole. They say waiting 24 hours after seeding. lol

I'll be spraying some tomorrow and see how it goes. Thanks for the insight.
