Non-Chemical Management
- Plant mixtures of improved bluegrass varieties.
- Provide proper culture (including adequate, balanced fertilization) to maintain vigorous, healthy turfgrass.
- Water in the mornings so grass can dry quickly. Deep, infrequent watering is best.
- Correct conditions which stress grass. For example, prune trees and shrubs to increase light penetration.
- Mow regularly at recommended height. Remove clippings when rust infections are severe.
