To minimize the damage that fungus can cause, we recommend that you employ correct cultural practices in the part you play in caring for your lawn. Aerate the yard at least once a year. Aeration reduces soil compaction. Mow regularly with a sharp blade. This reduces thatch build up and minimizes injury to individual plants. To achieve optimal benefit from irrigation, water early in the day, preferably before noon , when the temperature and wind are at their lowest. Depending on the amount of rainfall, depth of irrigation as well as frequency of irrigation will vary.

It is a good idea to water less frequently with longer watering times. For example, water on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday long enough to put down at least a ½ “ of water each day, depending on the season.
