Non-Chemical Management
- Plant improved grass cultivars.
- Provide proper culture including adequate, balanced fertilization.
- Water in the mornings so grass can dry quickly. Deep, infrequent waterings reduce the possibility of drought stress.
- Mow regularly at recommended height. Remove clippings.
- Provide good drainage and aeration. Remove thatch and aerify as needed.
- Prune trees and shrubs to increase light penetration and air circulation.
