Headway G Fungicide Granules is applied for prevention of pythium blight. Begin applications before disease is present. During periods of prolonged favorable conditions, treat on the 10-day application interval. For use on newly seeded as well as established turf.
There are not time restrictions between a pre-emergent and fungicide like Headway G Fungicide Granules application.
Headway G Fungicide Granules cannot be used over anything edible. Best to keep applications at least 10 feet away from fruits and vegetables and outside the dripline.
If Headway G Fungicide Granules does not have your specific spreader on the label, we recommend the following:
If your spreader settings go from 1 to 10 (1 letting out the least and 10 letting out the most) you typically want to be around a 3 setting. If your spreader goes from 1 to 20, you should probably be around a 6 or 7 setting. The goal is to just run out of product when you are done walking the 1000 square feet. One person may walk faster than someone else, so they may place It on a higher setting than someone that walks slower.
Almost all fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, etc have treatments in amounts of so much product per 1000 square feet. So if you can figure out what your walking speed is then you know anytime you apply any product that calls for so much of it per 1000 square feet, you always set your spreader on this setting. You can calibrate this by marking off a 1000 square foot (10 x 100) area and placing 4 ounces of any type of product of similar granule size, or of the extinguish in the spreader. Start with a low setting and start walking your marked off area at a normal pace. You can adjust as you go and find the basic setting for you to apply the product over a 1000 square feet.
Headway G Fungicide Granules should only be applied to turf on golf courses, lawns and landscape areas around residential, institutional, public, commercial and industrial buildings, parks, recreational areas and athletic fields not trees.

We apologize, but we don't have the exact spreader setting for your model spreader. The easiest way to determine the correct setting you need to apply Headway G is outlined below:
If you need to use 3.6lbs of product per 1,000 sq ft you would add 3.6 lb of product to spreader, start with a medium setting, then apply product to a 20 x 50 ft area (1,000 sq ft). If you have product left, your setting is too low. If you run out of product, your setting is too high.
You normally apply a fungicide like Headway before signs of the disease common to occur in your lawns starts to be present as long as the ground is not frozen. If you typically get a disease in the lawn every may, for example, then you would want to put down the headway a few weeks before the time it normally presents itself in your lawn, and continue reapplying at the appropriate intervals per the product label for that disease to keep it at bay. You may also want to consult your Master Gardener for the appropriate application time in your area.

Unfortunately we do not have the spreader settings for that specific combo and the manufacturer does not list that spreader on their bag of Headway G Fungicide Granules. Due to the thousands of granules on the market and just as many different types of spreaders, you will want to calibrate your spreader to the product you are using and its application rates. You can see a short video on how to accomplish this below.
How to Calibrate your Spreader
We would need to know the disease you are trying to prevent as the rate depends on the disease you are treating as well. Looking at the product label, the table gives a low and a high rate. Next to the disease you are treating for, the lower rate is the preventative rate to treat prior to fungus activity and the higher rate is to use if the fungus is active. You could also use the higher rate to give you extended control over a longer time in this case 14-28 days before treating again. Rotating fungicides after every 2-3 applications is recommended to prevent resistance. Our guide can help as well: A Beginner's Guide to Fungicides
