How to Protect Lawns
From Disease Blight

conditions favorable for the
development of disease. When
growth is slow, weather is on
the dry side, when they are
least likely to contribute to
disease development, the clip
pings should be left to serve
as a mulch.
Watering can also contribute
to the development of diseases
in the lawn. While this writer
does not believe in watering a
lawn except a new one, the
turf specialists of the Depart
ment of Agriculture have these
suggestions: Do not water until
the grass begins to wilt and
then soak the soil to a depth of
6 inches or more. Water early
enough in the day so that the
grass leaves dry of before
night. And third, avoid fire.
quent light waterings, especially
during warm weather.
The bulletin contains a
rather striking new develop
ment in controlling lawn
diseases, the use of the anti
biotic, acti-dione. This material
in its improved forms is being
more widely recommended for
the control of plant diseases.
However. there are fungicides
that will also do the job and
many of them are listed by
trade names in the bulletin
which will help the gardener in
locating sources of supply.
Some Statistical Data

and Garden Bulletin No. 81. In

BY BILL YOUNGMAN
Star Garden Editor

It would seem that Washing
ton gardeners are having more
and more trouble with lawn dis
eases judging by the number OF
inquiries received during recent
years. Drs. Felix Juska and K.
w. Kreitlow in their bulletin,
Lawn Diseases and How to
Control Them" ably set forth
the various diseases which may
appear on our turf grasses, but
they go one step further and
point out lawn management
practices which we might better
follow and avoid the diseases.
Overlooking is seldom prac-
ticed but it can and does pro-
duce disease problems that we
might well have avoided by fol-
lowing the recommended appli-
cations. Heavy nitrogen feeding
in the spring undoubtedly pro-
duces a lush type of growth that
is particularly susceptible to
disease. Fall feeding might well
receive the major emphasis in
building up the grass plants so
that they will have the nec-
essary vigor and vitality to pro-
duce the desired turf. We do
have to feed the bluegrasses and
fescues If they are to thrive and
have the velvety appearance SO
desirable.
Height Of Cut
Cutting at the right height
for each of the recommended
species of grass for this area is
too often ignored. The blue
grasses and fescues should be
cut at a height Of IA to 2
inches.
There is a direct correlation
between the height Of the cut
and the root system, hence low
cutting means a small root sys-
tenn to support the grass. With
out adequate roots the plants
will not thrive and crowd out
competitive weeds and weedy
grasses.
The summer grasses, Zoysia
and Bermuda. however, thrive
on close cutting and are the
exceptions to the rule.
Moving at the right height
is important, but we should
also endeavor to cut regularly
and often enough so that not
more than one-half of the leaf
surface is removed at one time.
In the spring and again in the
fall this may mean cutting
more than once q week; in the
summer when growth is much
slower once a week may be
often enough.
