Insects
This is the process by which an insect transitions from an egg to an adult.
What is Metamorphosis?
This common lawn disease is accelerated by the introduction of Nitrogen and typically occurs through July and August.
What is Brown Patch?
This is the soil temperature(F) that crabgrass begins to germinate.
What is 55 degrees?
This is the active ingredient coated on the 0-0-7 potassium fertilizer that is used with the Round 1 application.
What is Prodiamine?
This is composed of solids, liquids and gasses with the inorganic solids mostly coming from the "parent rock" and the organic solids coming from decomposed plant and animal material.
What is Soil?
This form of Metamorphosis develops through four stages: Egg, Larva, Pupa and Adult. There is a drastic difference between the Adult stage and the larva/pupa stage.
What is Complete Metamorphosis?
This lawn disease is characterized by hourglass shaped lesions, is typically found from May to June and will produce circular brown areas.
What is Dollar Spot?
This type of weed lives for more than 1 year but less than 3 years and will not produce seed until the second growing season.
What are Biennials?
This is the rate that the Round 1 application should be applied per thousand square feet.
What is 5.5lbs?
This is a toxic chemical compound for soil and was typically used in Medieval warfare and even earlier to damage food production.
What is Salt?
This form of Metamorphosis develops through 3 stages: Egg, Nymph and Adult. Adults and Nymphs look very similar.
What is Simple Metamorphosis?
This Summer lawn disease is characterized by purple or brown lesions on the grass blade and causing the lawn to look drought stressed.
What is Leaf Spot?
Dandelions are a perfect example of this lifecycle of weeds.
What are Perennials?
True or False: When cleaning up after an application it is important to leave the product along the edges and corners of the lawn.
What is True?
This type of soil combines Silt, Sand and Clay in the proper amounts and is the most desirable soil for establishing turf.
What is a Loam?
This is the most common mouthpart of turf feeding insects. It is characterized by physical removal from the plant itself.
What are chewing mouthparts?
This disease flourishes in wet weather, can cause the grass blades to appear thinned or decaying, and shares characteristics with another disease, but only for a short time. This disease can quickly kill a lawn if it is not treated properly.
What is Grey Leaf Spot?
This is the general vegetative characteristic of broadleaf weeds indicated when 2 seed leaves are produced upon germination.
What are Dicots?
True or False: Prodiamine creates a gaseous barrier in the soil that prevents crabgrass seeds from breaking through the soil.
What is True?
This pH range is the most beneficial for grass to grow properly and provides the most nutrients to desired plant material.
What is 6.0-7.0(All acceptable in this range)?
This larva feeds at night consuming plant material down to a few centimeters from the soil. This larva may or may not damage the crown of the turf during their feeding process.
What are Cutworms?
This disease, when it is at its most prominent, can stain your footwear an orangish color when walking through the affected lawn
What is Rust?
This vegetative characteristic can be determined by a variety of ways. One of the easiest ways is when only one seed leaf is produced upon germination.
What is a Monocot?
True or False: Prodiamine is not known to potentially cause issues with the germination of turf type seed(tall fescue, kentucky bluegrass, etc)
What is False?
This determines the ability of soil to resist changes to its pH.
What is the Buffering Capacity or Buffer pH?
