Do need to deal with Phosphites this year?

I have always had a PR/KBG/FF mix, so my biggest issue was always PR fungus issues like rust and red thread. This is going to be my first year with an all KBG backyard, and its a new lawn to boot.

I started spraying serenade in May at 3oz every other week. I am also dropping a lot of BSF weekly. I have a small lawn about 1,500sf and haven't even been able to find Phosphites in small quantities, but have read going into June I maybe should start preventively spraying Phosphites.

I have no idea if I have had problems with Pythium before. I realize its early June and might be a little late for adding Companion or Phosphites, should I be proactively spraying anything other than Serenade at this point?

If you don't know that Pythium is a challenge, I wouldn't search out Phosphites.
