Are there fungicides that will control leaf blight?
Yes, there are fungicides approved for use to control leaf blight. Fungicides should only be used after the other suggested methods for controlling leaf blight have failed to produce satisfactory results. Before you use a fungicide, it is recommended that you have a turf expert identify the disease you have observed. The Sports Turf Research Institute is the leading agronomy organisation in the UK, you can visit their website www.stri.co.uk. Fungicides are toxic, and should be used only when needed and handled carefully. We also recommend that you obtain advice about chemical and non-chemical products direct from the manufacturers. Remember: Leaf blight can attack all types of turf, but if your turf is managed well this disease should not be destructive.
