Controlling Gray Leaf Spot: Cleary’s 3336F

Samuel Barrick

Gray Leaf Spot (GLS) has become an increasing problem in Turf-type Tall Fescue Lawns with more sights each year in the transition zone. GLS is commonly seen when temperatures are above 70°F with moisture on the turfgrass for 14 consecutive hours.  With the normal maintenance of Tall Fescue, which is usual cut at 3 ½ to 4 inches tall, it allows moisture to be retained due a dense canopy and reduced air movement. Now cutting Fescue does not help the grass out as it will struggle during the hot summer month with producing photosynthesis or drying out completely to the point of death.

With regular Roundup, you might see results in a week with another week for it to brown out the plant completely.  This is where Roundup QuikPro can make a difference. Roundup QuikPro is a combination of Roundup’s active ingredient glyphosate along with Diquat.
