A healthy turf requires both major and minor nutrients. The major nutrients are usually abbreviated on a package as NPK, which represents nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), also called potash. Nitrogen is used the most in the soil partly because it easily leaches through the soil profile, whereas the other two major nutrients (phosphorus and potash) get bound up in organic matter. Lawn care professionals normally use a fertilizer with a high nitrogen content to jump start a lawn. Nitrogen works pretty quickly, especially after a rain, so expect to be mowing soon! How to protect Lawn from fungus? Here are a few tips to prevent fungus problems: #Maintain proper pH #Mow at the proper height #Don’t over fertilize with nitrogen #Water at night or very early in the morning #Avoid thatch build up by dethatching and aerating the turf #Keep trees pruned (or remove if necessary) to allow sufficient light to reach the turf #Make the final cut of the year a little shorter than usual to help prevent snow mold spores that can fester in the moist leaf blades of taller grass. https://supplysolutionsadvisors.com/
