Turf grass is ideally grown in a slightly acid soil. Soil acidity is measured by a number called pH. The optimum pH range for lawns is 6.5 to 7.0. When a soil becomes too acid or alkaline, some nutrients used by the grass plant become unavailable. To ensure maximum nutrient availability, soil pH must be in the optimum range.
Sulfur Application
Lawns need more than fertilizer to stay green. To help make fertilizer more effective, your lawn should be tested and balanced for proper pH. Proper pH levels promote favorable growing conditions – encouraging strong, hardy plants that are less susceptible to damage caused by the disease. Sulfur corrects alkaline soil conditions by balancing the pH level and provides your lawn with many benefits, including:
- Slowing thatch build-up which can choke growth, reduce turf density, and harbor diseases and insects.
- Reducing iron chlorosis (yellowing) by making iron in the soil more available to the grass plant.
- Increasing the effectiveness of fertilizer.
- Reducing the potential for lawn fungus Sulfur applications work slowly to improve your soil.
