Non-Chemical Management
- Provide proper culture, including deep, infrequent waterings and adequate fertilization.
- Rake and loosen soil in affected areas. Aerate soil and water the area deeply. A grass-type wetting agent can be used to help rewet the soil.
- After rewetting, reseed affected areas and fertilize and water properly.
- Remove the sod, mix soil in affected areas in the upper 6 to 8 inches of soil with a rototiller, and reseed or put new sod in the area.
