Non-Chemical Management
- Apply an organic mulch over the root zone to reduce water evaporation from the soil and to modify soil temperatures.
- Fertilize moderately.
- Improve drainage if the soil is soggy.
- Irrigate plants as needed to keep soil moist.
- Match plant species/varieties to the environment.
- Proper planting techniques can prevent problems. Break up and spread matted circling roots to ensure good root growth into the surrounding soil.
