Bronze Program

Our Bronze Program provides applications during the three most critical time periods for lawns in Bloomington Indiana. The first application consists of a pre-emergent herbicide paired with a small amount of slow release fertilizer to kick start the feeding of your turf in the early spring. The pre-emergent application is critical in preventing unwanted annual broadleaf weed seeds from germinating and gaining a stronghold within your lawn and we incorporate this application into all three programs offered!

 

The second application comes mid-August to early-september and consists of a larger dose of much needed fertilizer following a hot summer along with a targeted broadleaf application. This broadleaf application serves to take care of any summer annual broadleaves that survived the pre-emergent application and to knock down perennial and winter annual broadleaves as they begin to sprout.

 

The final application is done in mid to late October and consists of quick release fertilizer and a targeted broadleaf application. The quick release fertilizer promotes root and plant health and prepares the turf enter into dormancy propping up health and vigor for the upcoming spring. The targeted broadleaf application is designed to kill perennial and winter annual broadleaves that have continued to sprout since the august application.

 

This Bronze Program provides many benefits for your lawn throughout the year, but it does have a couple of limitations in terms of fertilization and weed control. First, utilizing the Bronze program doesn’t allow your lawn to receive the optimal amount of fertilization during the growing cycle. The optimal amount of Nitrogen for Indiana turf is 3.5-3.7lbs of Nitrogen per 1000 square feet. However, it is unhealthy to apply more than 1lb of Nitrogen per 1000 square feet on any individual application, and turfgrass only needs about .5lbs of Nitrogen per 1000 square feet per application during the spring. As a result, the Bronze program will come up short of the optimal annual Nitrogen per 1000 square feet goal at about 2.5lbs per 1000 square feet. Second, the Bronze Program does provide some opportunity for broadleaf weeds to avoid complete control between applications. In general, the Bronze Program is an excellent starter program to increase turfgrass health and reduce unwanted weeds for turfgrass in Bloomington Indiana!
