Fertilization management
Fertilization is an important measure to provide nourishment for lawn grass, which can improve the durability and quality of lawn. Turfgrass in northern Xinjiang is more suitable to be fertilized twice a year, early spring and early autumn. The first fertilization in early April (appropriate fertilization) can not only make the lawn turn green in advance, but also help cool-season turfgrass to recover damage and thicken the turf before the annual weeds sprout; perform the second fertilization in September. In addition to extending the green period to late autumn and winter, it can also promote the growth of new branches and rhizomes in the second year.
In order to maintain a good landscape condition, long-lasting green, and high resistance to diseases and insect pests, a certain amount of nutrition must be maintained. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the extra-root topdressing and supplement other trace elements except N, P, and K to meet the needs of its growth.
Water management
Ensuring the water supply of lawn grass is an essential condition for producing high-quality lawns. Generally, when the lawn is short of water, the lawn grass will wither to different degrees, and the color will turn from blue-green to gray-green. At this time, it needs to be irrigated.
The irrigation time should be determined by the growth of the lawn and weather conditions. Generally speaking, watering in the morning or evening will reduce evaporation loss, which is conducive to the growth of lawn grass. During the dry season of the turf growing season, especially in Xinjiang, it is necessary to supplement about 5 cm of water a week to ensure the healthy growth of turfgrass.
