Caring For Lawn Can Be Difficult
By Walter H. Rucker
County Agent
Forsyth County residents
are beginning to experience
lawn difficulties as the hot
days of summer approach.
In addition to controlling
weeds, insects and fungi we
are accustomed to mowing,
watering and fertilizing our
lawns. Often we create
problems when we do these
three things.
IMPROPER WATERING
is a major cause of poor
lawns. Frequent light
waterings induce shallow root
growth. Shallow-rooted
grasses are readily injured
during periods of severe

drought. Deep rooted plants
are not. Frequent evening
watering also favors disease
development because it keeps
grass leaves moist for a long
period of time.
Do not water grass until it
begins to wilt, then apply
enough water to soak the soil

more. This will enhance deep
root growth.
IMPROPER MOWING is
the second cause of poor turf.
Cutting grass too closely or
too often may result in a
condition that looks like
disease. Cut grasses with
upright growth, such as
fescue or bluegrass, to a
height of two to 2% inches.
Mow the grass before it gets
too tall; not more than one
half of the leaf surface should
be removed at one time. The
frequency of mowing will
depend on the quantity of
fertilizer and water applied,
weather conditions, and other
factors influencing plant

removed unless growth is
excessive.
FERTILIZER BURNS are
the third way that we often
injure our lawns. Con
centrated inorganic fertilizer,
if applied too heavily, will
burn grass in two or three
days.
