Turf Problem Finder

Use these routes to explore products for common turf maintenance problems. Similar symptoms can have different causes, so inspect the turf, growing conditions and recent maintenance before choosing a treatment.

Weeds or moss

For weeds in grass, compare professional selective weed killers where you meet the conditions of use, and check that the label covers the surface and target weed. For non-professional products, browse home and garden weed control, checking whether the product is for lawns or vegetation clearance. A total weed killer can damage grass. For moss in turf, use lawn moss control; for paths and other hard areas, use hard surface moss control.

Bare, thin or slow-growing grass

Explore patch repair grass seed for reseeding and soil testing where nutrient or soil conditions need investigation. Compaction, wear, shade and moisture can all affect establishment. Browse aeration tools and irrigation equipment when those tasks form part of your plan.

Suspected pests or disease

Check the affected turf and identify the pest or disease before buying a product. Explore leatherjacket control, chafer grub control and turf disease control for the relevant ranges. Availability of a product does not establish its suitability for every site, user or season. Follow the current label and any authorisation conditions.

Moisture and surface conditions

Compare wetting agents for the relevant moisture-management objective, dew dispersants for surface dew management, and water removal equipment for suitable playing surfaces. Persistent drainage problems need assessment of the soil profile and drainage system.
