Non-Chemical Management
- When using Kentucky bluegrass, plant mixtures of improved varieties.
- Do not plant grass in heavily shaded areas.
- When practical, prune trees and shrubs to reduce shading and improve air circulation.
- Provide proper culture, including adequate, balanced fertilization and deep, infrequent watering.
- Water grass in the morning so it can dry quickly.
- Mow grass regularly at the recommended height.
- For more information on proper care of lawns, including mowing heights and fertilizer recommendations, see EB0482E, Home Lawns.
