Snow mold on turf 3/1/2010
Snow mold diseases occur during the winter and/or late spring under snow cover. There are several snow mold diseases that affect turfgrasses in the midwest United States. The two most common of these are gray snow mold and pink snow mold. This disease is usually noticed first as the snow melts in the spring. It is commonly found in those turf areas of greatest snow accumulation, such as along driveways or over the brink of a hill where snow drifts tend to accumulate. The most notable symptoms are white crusted areas of grass in which blades are dead, bleached, and matted together. If you find this, rake the grass to loosen up the matted grass and apply an early fertilization to help aleave the grass. If not done bare spots in grass may occur.
 
 
Bag Worm 3/1/2010
This time of the year bag worm is very easy to spot. It looks like a brown cocoon, about 1.5-3 inches long, and hangs down from branches. The best way to remove these( this time of the year) is to cut them off. Make sure to remove the silk string from around the branch, if this is left on it can gurdle the branch in the future and cause it to die.
