Last week I've determined I have Rhizoctonia blight in the lawn. I went out and purchased a pellet-type of sod fungicide (manufactured by Bayer) for the problem. It's been one week now, and I've seen minimal results. The infected areas seem to be doing better; however the high heat this week and, I believe, too much watering have contributed to the spread of the fungus into unaffected areas. I've adjusted the sprinkling system to the following...
Zone A - All Grass; Set to turn on Tues-Sat at 9am for 7min.
Zone B - Herbs and vegtables; Set to turn on Sun-Sat at 8am for 12min.
Zone C - Grass in Full Sun; Set to turn on Tues and Thur only at 8:30pm for 7min.
I need to perform some more research on the effectiveness of Corn Meal on this disease. Rumor is that it may naturally control of the blight.
