    Definitely Worth The Price!

    I've been working to eliminate lawn fungus issues for several years. I've tried the Scott's Fungus Control Granules and the Bayer Fungus Control Spray and saw little to no results. Two applications of Headway G and now all my disease issue are over. Considering all the money I've wasted on Scott's and Bayer products, this stuff is a true bargain!

    Expensive, but works!

    By William on 05/09/2018

    Verified Purchase

    This is the only product I use to control brown patch in NC. This must be used as a preventative so first application must be done before first sign of disease. Depending on evening rainfall history and daily humidity. I will usually put down first application on June 1 and then every 20-25 days until Sept 1. This is an expensive plan but you will not have brown patch issues thus preserving that green lawn you work hard for.

    This product worked quickly and stopped the progression of the take all root rot in our grass. We have had a tremendous amount of rain this year, thus we have dealt with this issue for the first time. We will certainly use it again if need be. Next year, we will treat our grass preventively.

Sort Questions
Q
Does Headway G Fungicide Granules eliminate mushrooms from growing as well.
A

No, Headway G Fungicide Granules will not effect mushrooms.  Generally speaking when mushrooms are present it's because you have too much moisture in your lawn and you need to dry it out.  Avoid watering your turf if you are on a watering schedule.  You may need to remove the mushrooms by hand, but to keep them from coming back you need to dry out the soil.  You will need to do a core aeration in your lawn and we would recommend cutting back limbs that may be causing too much shade over your lawn. 
 
We are not aware of any products to treat for mushrooms in lawns.  You may contact your local cooperative extension office and get the mushroom identified and the master gardener on staff should be able to tell you what will work to eliminate the type of mushroom you are dealing with.

Q
Jan 31, have seen an emergence of red thread in my lawn, can I apply this in Ma. NOW?
A

You normally apply a fungicide like Headway before signs of the disease common to occur in your lawns starts to be present as long as the ground is not frozen. If you typically get a disease in the lawn every may, for example, then you would want to put down the headway a few weeks before the time it normally presents itself in your lawn, and continue reapplying at the appropriate intervals per the product label for that disease to keep it at bay. You may also want to consult your Master Gardener for the appropriate application time in your area.

Q
Is it recommended to alternate another fungicide with Headway G Fungicide Granules or can this be used by itself?
A

Headway G is a mixture of a Group 3 (propiconazole) and a Group 11 (azoxystrobin) fungicide. Headway G has two modes of action to help prevent resistance however incorporating a 3rd fungicide of a different group fungicide can be effective depending on the specific disease you are targeting. 

Please refer to the product label for any additonal recommendations for adding another fungicide to the rotation program and our helpful Beginner's Guide to Fungicides for more information and details.

Q
Can I apply Headway a few days after Eagle E20?

We have a lawn fungus, and I applied Eagle to the impacted areas. 12 hrs later we got about 1.5 inches of rain over 36 hrs. Our lawn guy suggested that Headway was a better option to treat our fungus. Is it safe to apply Headway 3-4 days after the Eagle application?

A
You could potentially apply Headway G Fungicide Granules at this point. However, we suggest waiting at least 7 days (14 days would be better) after the last application. This is because Headway G contains propiconazole, which is in the same chemical class as the myclobutanil in the Eagle 20. Applying the same type of active ingredient too often can lead to disease resistance, so we don't want to increase that risk. We have more details on Fungicide Rotation in this article.

Q
Should the bag look like Headway G Fungicide Granules is freeze dried? It arrived very hard and air tight!

Is product still good? No setting for Scotts Broadcast spreader on bag.

A

Yes, the Headway G Fungicide Granules bag is vacuum-sealed closed. When you open the bag, the seal will be released and the granules will be loose. 

Unfortunately, we do not have the spreader settings for that specific combo, and since the manufacturer does not list that spreader on their bag we are unsure what the exact setting would be. Due to the thousands of granules on the market and just as many different types of spreaders, there isn't a master list that exists. You may want to try calling the manufacturer of your spreader or the chemical itself directly, to see if anyone on their staff has that info. Otherwise, you will want to calibrate your spreader to the product you are using and its application rates. You can see a short video on how to accomplish this below.
