attractions x atiur nw summer disease and insects as summer approaches man lawns will encounter some form of disease or insect infestation many times both of these arc confusing and should always be diagnosed from a professional company the visual signs can be the same the major diseases we get in our area is leaf blight dollar spot and necrotic ring spot the most important help to aoid these diseases are two main factors do not cut jour lawn at an low height always from juneaug keep your mower blade at 2 5 inches off the ground this will reduce the affects of drought stress most importantly is to not water our lawn m the late afternoon evening or at night major disease problems occur with night watering always apply water between 5 00 a m1 130 am allowing the grass and thatch layer to dry before night time also do not oer water many feel lawns require water every day or every second day this couldnt be further from the truth watering once per week per area for 1 52 0 hours creates a healthy roof system and stronger turf lawns can handle drought vciy well and do not need excessive water these rules of healthy lawn maintenance will avoid and recover disease except for necrotic ring spot necrotic ring spot is difficult to eliminate and seeding of the areas with a ryegrass seed is needtd for best results always remember that disease on home lawns do not respond to fungicide treatments most can be cured with a correction of the homeowners watering and cutting habits as for insects our mam concern in this area is chinch bug they will cause brown areas in july and august which is commonly confused for drought you do not need to apply insect controls continuously to avoid insects as these products are not preventative areas should be spot sprayed only where needed to stop the insects from doing major damage advanced monitoring of the lawn in the only way to stop the insects call a professional company if there arc concerned dunng july and august that way it can be diagnosed properly to avoid control of beneficial insect or application of unnecessary products email your questions to greggkarnmsncom we care for your lawn 4714220 3 time winner or the
