  • Woerner recommends annual pH testing and adjustment in accordance with soil test recommendations.
  • Any suitable organic-based fertilizer may be substituted for any single scheduled application.
  • Routinely scheduled application of insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides are recommended to aid in the prevention of weeds, insects, and disease.
  • Product combinations of fertilizer and weed control may be utilized but Woerner recommends separate applications to target specific issues as they occur.
  • Chinch Bugs are typically active during the months of June thru Sept. Monitor and apply appropriate pesticides as the label recommends.
  • Application of pesticides is indicated during summer months as this is when pest issues are most likely to be exposed. These applications may or may not be necessary depending on individual situations.
