A higher potassium rate is used in periods of stress and when plant hardiness is one of the primary goals and helps prepare the turf for the stressful period coming up. Iron(Fe) is also necessary for the formation of chlorophyll resulting in a darker green turf. Included is a spray application of weed conrol using Momentum FX2 in mid-May.
Step 4
1st week in July
Merit .2% 24-0-8 40% PolyPlus- Grubs can do a lot of damage in a short period of time and the damage is usually done before you see any outward signs in the lawn.

Merit is most effective in the early instar stages of white grubs, so preventative applications are more effective than curative.
