Lawn Moss Control

Controlling moss in grass, turf and lawns

There are different ways you can kill moss in grass, either with spreadable granules (through a granule applicator) or a sprayable liquid (from a knapsack sprayer or watering can).

Both product types usually have some fertiliser or seaweed added to encourage the grass to re-establish after the area is controlled.

It is also possible to buy a granule moss killer with a weed killer added, such as Amvista Turf Rise no.4. Results from these all-in-one treatments are acceptable; however, we believe a separate spray application for weeds gives better results.

Sul-Fe blackens moss while greening up grass. It is easily applied using a knapsack sprayer or watering can with a sprinkler bar. Can control moss at higher rates.

Moss control in lawns

Moss grows on lawns when grass growth is slow, the soil is wet, or there is high humidity.  Excessive thatch on a lawn also provides the damp conditions in which moss thrives.  When moss is present, it is often a sign that the grass in the lawn is not as healthy as it should be.

When found in a lawn, moss is a good indicator that:

• Ground remains wet for long periods
• Nutrient level of the soil is low
• Soil is compacted and lacks organic matter
• Grass may be cut too short or even scalped down to bare earth
• Area is shaded from regular sunshine
• Poor air flow around the lawn
