You may have
seen a lawn nearly destroyed by disease, hope you can understand how
devastating these unfriendly parasites can be to a beautiful lawn. Prevention
of fungus disease is very important since treatment of grass diseases
themselves is both difficult and fairly costly. The best and the most effective
way to protect the lawn from disease-causing agents is by keeping the lawn as
healthy as possible. We are going to discuss a few lawn disease prevention tips
today.
Lawn Health- There’s a kind of give-and-take to
your lawn’s health. The right kind of lawn fertilization at the right time
gives your grass the nutrients it needs, while lawn aeration takes, or removes,
compacted soil and thatch to give water, air and nutrients an easy way to reach
your turf’s roots so they can breathe. So, in conclusion we can say that
regular core aeration and the right kind of fertilizing lawn care are the two
most important things to do for your lawn to help it fight off grass diseases.
1. Lawn Fertilization- There are a lot of people who give their lawn junk food fertilizers of
fast-release nitrogen for a super quick green. But an important thing to
remember in this regards is that this kind of lawn fertilizing can really bring
on all kinds of lawn diseases and other problems. Your grass keeps growing at a
strong, steady rate, without the kind of quick growth that can invite lawn
diseases and your turf itself is better able to outgrow disease, develop
stronger roots and directly fight disease. It would not be of any use to
provide these elements if they can’t reach their destination. The bottom line
is keep your lawn off of junk food.
2. Lawn Aeration-
Watering, walking across the lawns, and rainfall helps pack down the top layers
of soil which makes it hard for water and other nourishment to get through to
the roots. The water or fertilizer can also be blocked if “thatch” (the spongy
layer of partially decomposed material between your grass and the soil) becomes
thicker than a 1/2″. Thick thatch and compacted soil together contribute
significantly to the development of lawn diseases and core aeration helps reduce
both thatch and break up soil. Lawn aeration creates room for air, water and
fertilizer to reach the roots by pulling out thousands of plugs of soil and
thatch from your lawn. A single lawn aeration removes about 10 percent of the
thatch from a lawn. Lawns should be aerated at least once a year when roots are
actively growing in fall or spring.
