Non-Chemical Management
- Plant mixtures of improved bluegrass varieties.
- Provide good culture by fertilizing, mowing, and irrigating properly. Vigorous, healthy grass is more disease-resistant.
- Water in the morning so grass can dry quickly.
- Provide adequate nitrogen, especially in the fall, as part of a balanced fertilizer regime.
- Provide good aeration and drainage. Remove thatch and aerify as needed.
- For more information on proper care of lawns, including fertilizer recommendations, see EB0482E, Home Lawns.
