Non-Chemical Management
- Good drainage is essential to prevent disease.
- Provide proper culture including proper fertilization. Do not fertilize heavily in warm, humid conditions.
- Reduce stress on grass as much as possible.
- Avoid overwatering. Deep, infrequent waterings are best. Water in the mornings so grass can dry quickly.
- Remove thatch and aerify as necessary.
- Collect and remove infected grass clippings to help reduce spread of disease.
- For more information on proper care of lawns, including mowing heights and fertilizer recommendations, see EB0482E, Home Lawns.
