Answer by: Kelly Kopp, VSV Extension Turfgrass our grass heat from stressed more becomes and drought, weeds and insects can become a problem. This will be less of an issue if your lawn was healthy before the hot weather took over. Wait to control weeds until the grass has begun to recover. Pulling weeds by hand works well, but using herbicides can damage already stressed grass. The reduced root growth that occurs when grasses are in dormancy can also increase the ininjury caused by sects. However, it is often difficult to diagnose insect problems when grass is dormant.

It is time to spray those fruit trees again The second generation of dling moth eggs are hatching and the worms will be burrowing into apples, pears, and plums. Cleaning up debris and fallen fruit from around trees will reduce pest numbers significantly. Fruit and debris should be buried, burned, or sent off in the trash. Spraying the trunks and lower branches of peaches and cherries to prevent borers can also be done at this Co- time. Protection from this generation of codling moth should cover 20 days or go until the 15th of August. Therefore, one to three spray applications, depending on product used, will be necessary for this pest generation.
