It is spider mite webbing or Pythium disease on new ryegrass seedlings? They can be hard to tell apart, but the disease looks fluffy, & will quickly kill the grass!

Dr. Miller on UNC switching from synthetic back to natural grass.

Now is the time to apply pre emergent control for crabgrass. If overseeding, choose a product that does not adversely affect seed germination. One resource we 💚 here at OSU is Michigan State's Growing Degree Day tracker: gddtracker.msu.edu
