미국에서는 잔디가 잘 자라는 지역을 구분하기 위해서 아래와 같이 크게 3개의 지역(Growing Zone)으로 나눕니다.

1. Texas, Florida 등의 남부지역이 속한 Warm Season 🤠
2. Michigan, Washington과 같이 북쪽의 주들이 속한 Cool Season 🆒
3. California 일부, Nevada 등이 속한 Transitional Zone 🍊

Growing Zone에 대한 더 자세한 내용은 🧑‍🌾잔디 상식. Growing Zone! 참고하세요!

이 페이지에서 다룰 내용은 그 중에 우리가 속한 😎 Warm Season 잔디인데요. Warm season 잔디는 봄에 성장을 시작해서 여름에 피크로 자라다 가을이 되면 성장을 줄이고 겨울나기를 준비합니다. 대표적인 종으로는 🌱St. Augustine , 🌱Bermuda, Centipede 그리고 한국에서도 볼 수 있는 🌱Zoysia 가 있어요. Warm Season 잔디는 뜨거운 남부지역의 특색에 맞게 고온, 건조한 날씨에 최적화된 종류라고 볼 수 있어요. 그래서 Cool Season Grass는 80도가 넘으면 성장을 멈추지만 Warm Season Grass는 85-95F 까지를 최적의 온도로 보고있어요! 그래서 남부의 뜨거운 날씨에도 거뜬히 견딜 수 있지요.

하지만! 최근에는 이런 더운 날씨에 특화된 잔디도 110도를 넘나드는 여름에는 잠시 성장을 멈추고 휴식을 할 수 있습니다. 이 부분에 대해서는 따로 다루기로 하겠습니다.

By changing suppliers, we are now able to offer not only the value of a 45lb bag but the option for smaller lawns of an 18lb bag. Yard Mastery 0-0-7 Prodiamine is a granular pre-emergent designed to stop weeds in the lawn, such as crabgrass, poa annua, bittercress, chickweed, and henbit. One 45 lb bag covers 15,000 sq ft at the rate of 3 lbs/1,000 sq ftOne 18 lb bag covers 6,000 sq ft at the rate of 3 lbs/1,000 sq ft.37% Prodiamine is the active ingredientGreat for preventing crabgrass, poa annua (annual bluegrass), and moreProduct Description: Most DIYers use this product in spring to stop crabgrass. Crabgrass is an annual grassy weed that germinates in spring, grows lime green and large during summer, then towards the later fall, drops seeds. The following spring, the process starts all over again. This is why crabgrass is called an “annual” grassy weed. The good news is that crabgrass can be stopped very effectively using this product, which is formulated for use in DIY spreaders. It’s the same active ingredient the pros use. The best time to apply Prodiamine is in the spring or fall, as soil temperatures are between 55F to 70F. Each application of 3 lbs/1,000 sq ft provides about 3 months of pre-emergence protection.Our recommendation for both cool and warm-season lawns is 2 applications in spring if the target is crabgrass.For more details, you can check out the FREE Pre-Emergent Guide. If you download our FREE app it will tell you exactly when your soil temps cross these milestones. Application Information:DO NOT use Prodiamine if you are seeding or reseeding, as it will keep your seed from germinating.This product should be watered in within 48 hours of application for best results.
