Non-Chemical Management
- Provide proper culture. Adequate, balanced fertilization and deep, infrequent watering will help prevent disease. Water in the morning so grass can dry quickly.
- Mow regularly. Do not allow grass to become matted.
- Collect clippings to reduce amount of debris on lawn.
- Remove thatch and aerify as needed.
- For more information on proper care of lawns, including mowing heights and fertilizer recommendations, see EB0482E, Home Lawns.
