- Nutrition - Our fertilizing program provides a balanced turf
food to give healthy turf a nice green color.
- Pest Weeds and Grasses - Our two-phase treatment controls (1)
Broad-leafed Weeds such as Dandelions, Chickweed, Henbit, and (2) Spring
Annual Grasses such as Crabgrass and Foxtail.
- Mowing Bermuda Grass should be mowed to a height of l to 11/2
inches depending on the variety. Fescue and Bluegrass should be mowed 2
to 3 inches in height. Mowing should be frequent enough so that not more
than 1/2 of the leaf blade is removed at one time
- Watering
- Hot, dry Oklahoma summers weaken turf resulting in an
unsightly dormant turf condition. Proper irrigation and fertilizing will
enable you to maintain your lawn in a healthy, attractive condition even
during this period. The soil 3 to 5 inches below the surface should be
moist enough to form a firm ball that will not fall apart. If this soil
test fails, add more water to lawn.
Questions and Answers
|
- Over shading-
Bermuda is a sun-loving plant, requiring more than
60 percent sunlight to thrive. Where Bermuda does not receive adequate
sunlight because of over shading by shrubs, trees, or structures, the
condition must either be corrected or satisfactory ground cover such as
fescue, ivy or ajuga should be planted in these heavily shaded
conditions.
- Insects - Armyworms, grubs, sod webworms, chinch bugs, and
Bermuda mites infest Bermuda lawns. Their diagnosis and treatment are
necessary to maintain a healthy turf .
- Winter Kill - Freeze-out usually occurs in March when a hard
freeze (below 20 degrees) occurs after a warm period, especially when
the soil has a low moisture content. Heavy watering is recommended about
March 1 if there is adequate soil moisture. This procedure will
lessen freeze damage to both turf and shrubs.
