Yesterday was memorial day and we had a small cookout, so watered this morning. It was damp and humid when I woke up. Noticed the humidity so dropped my BSF as I had planned, but also sprayed some Serenade. Then tonight when the sun went down noticed I suddenly what looked like rust in a few spots.

Hard to really tell because the KBG is so stalky and seedy, its just isn't putting lot into growing new grass blades, but if I didnt know better I'd think the serenade did something. I am sure one serrenade app wouldn't cause a rust outbreak, probably just good timing on my part to spray it, but is anyones else notice any disease issues starting up?

Yep, started to see rust about a week ago. Sprayed Azoxystrobin on it and within 3 or 4 days it looks a lot healthier.

I haven’t seen rust but I’ve seen some spots darken on me and in previous years those areas have caused me problems so I applied some diseaseEX to an area a little wider than my problem area. I’ve also got my first dose of seranade down, next will happen after the next cut
