The lawn tends to slow down its growth and stops when temperatures rise. In these conditions, a state of weakness is created that makes it more sensitive.
For a good result during the high temperatures of summer, special care is needed regarding fertilization, mowing and watering. How can we help it?
To reduce the risk of yellowing and drying, it is necessary to keep the soil always slightly moist and always fertile. We apply the water-soluble fertilizer of AGROZA 30-10-10 for green plants and growth by watering it. We incorporate 10 g of product in 5 liters of water. We repeat every month.
The presence of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and sulfur guarantees the formation of a uniform thick, rich lawn, with an intense and bright green color, resistant to tread and heat.
We are careful when mowing the lawn! It should not be too short, so that the soil does not dry out too quickly and “burn” from excessive sunlight and heat. Also, if the cutting is done when the lawn has already grown a lot, its base may be hard and yellowed afterwards. Regular mowing keeps the lawn stronger, the roots spread out and the growth remains more compact and homogeneous.
In case of very high temperatures, we can use an antistress product based on Macrocystis Algae such as Macys by Cifo and in this way protect our lawn against extreme temperatures. Dissolve 10ml of the product in 10 liters of water and spray.
In general, irrigation should be very regular, never excessive and should be done at times when the soil is able to absorb water better without causing stress to the roots. On the hottest days it is better to water at sunset or early in the morning, thus allowing the water to penetrate the soil slowly without the risk of rapid evaporation. Automatic irrigation is ideal, because this avoids sunburn and the development of diseases.
Good luck!
