Question: | "For a few years now we have tried several chemicals to eradicate moss on our running track with no apparent effect. Can you help us in this matter?" |
Answer/Response: | "There are several ways of tackling moss invasion on a running track. Correct maintenance plays an important part. The surface should be regularly scarified and can be left in this condition over winter if the track is not used. Drainage must also be good since wet conditions encourage moss. Chemical treatments can also be effective but must be applied correctly. Total weedkillers based on C.M.U. or Simazine etc. are quite good. They must be applied evenly at the manufacturer's recommended rate." |
