Late Season Fairy Ring Cancel The title field is required!

   Anyone seeing any late season fairy ring? I have Crenshaw/L-93 greens in North Texas and most of what I am seeing is the superficial types. No mushrooms, just the classic green rings. The upper root zone has a few layers which it does seem to prefer and next year's strategy is to reduce this as much as possible. We have made a couple fungicide applications this fall (Honor Intrinsic and Bayleton), which has had some effect on it. We plan to make early Spring Bayleton applications to keep it in check until the warmer months. Just tired of looking at it!

   I had good luck this year with a curative app of Torque. One app .6oz/M watered in 5min and I haven't seen it since. I have heard mixed reviews though. Some are like mine and some are that it didn't work at all. As cheap as it is I think it is worth a shot. I saw no growth regulation with it unlike the Bayleton which my greens didn't like at all.

   On my greens in the eastern panhandle of WV, I received the best results from a split application of Prostar at a two week interval. Each application was water in with tablet type wetting agent.
   It was several years before I saw Fairy Ring again.

   Bayer has a guarantee program for Fairy Ring and something interesting about the products. If applying curative use a wetting agent, however if applying preventive skip the wetting agents use. They feel it moves it down past the zone where Fairy Ring inhabits.

   I had terrible fairy ring in my Tifdwarf greens two years ago. I sprayed Torque in February and March last year and no fairy ring last year.

   Weve sprayed Torque, sprayed 2x in 3 years. Cheap and more effective than the other products. Bayer's program costs an arm and a leg.

   We did torque this past season 4 weeks apart, 2 weeks after the first torque we did our wetting agent. Worked great, of course that's not late season fairy ring.

   Torque is the only way to go. And it is the most affordable. I had done the Bayleton apps in the past and always had fairy ring. Last year we did two apps of Torque and did not see any the whole year.
