Max,
Great question. We have had issues with zoysia patch in southern Indiana for many years. The past couple of years has been much better with the help of Tebuconizole. We all use the generic version from qualipro or armor tech. I have been making 4 apps. Of this product each year because it is so cheap compared to other fungicides like Prostar. My first application goes down during the first week after tent up. This is usually late March to early April here. I then wait 30 days to make my second spring application and then I am done until fall. I usually make my first application in the fall around the end of September. I wait 30 days and reapply right before dormancy. I think the label rate for the product is 24 oz. per acre. We use 27 oz. This product has allowed me to go through the last 2 years with no visual zoysia patch. By the way, I have been told by a turf pathologist that there has never been a resistant strain of brown patch towards any fungicide found and the price of teby keeps going down. Life is good! Hope this helps. Run with it.
