Diseases

One of the best weapons against disease in turf's is to create a healthy plant. In almost every case, weeds, insects and disease seek plants that are in stress. If a grass is growing in a healthy, balanced soil, if it is mowed correctly and watered properly it will be able to withstand almost anything that comes it's way. If it is deficient in any of these categories, it can be taken over or killed quit easily.

If chemicals are needed, first identify the disease. This section will help you. After you have succeeded this, then you can come to our fungicide page. This will help you decide which chemical will be best suited for your needs.
