Green Calendar May 2025

By : Davide - Categories : Lawn care Rss feed
May is the month for interventions to best prepare the lawn to withstand and overcome summer stress. It is necessary to act in advance to avoid the onset of difficulties with the first summer heat.

First of all, it is necessary to schedule some treatments to limit the onset of broadleaf weeds and then distribute active anti-germination ingredients to prevent the development of summer weeds. We recommend using these products combined with biostimulants Always and Pre Stress by Bottos which amplify their effectiveness against weeds and preserve the lawn from any residual phytotoxicity.

Then, towards the end of the month and until the first half of June, it is time for potassium fertilization, which will prepare the lawn for the high temperatures that will come. In case of late sowing, it is advisable to use treated seeds.
