Efficient moss control

Preventing or controlling moss growth is an important aspect of garden maintenance. To tackle moss effectively, it is essential to understand the causes of moss development and address them at the source.

The main causes of moss in lawns are:

  • Poor grass growth due to:

    • an unsuitable soil pH

    • an inadequate nutrient status

  • The presence of a suffocating thatch layer

  • Excess moisture in the topsoil

  • An excessively high Ca/Mg ratio in the soil

  • Insufficient light (schaded areas)

  • Mowing too short

A strong, dense lawn with less chance of moss

A well-nourished lawn is the best foundation for limiting moss development. DCM GAZON PUR® promotes the growth of a strong, dense turf, thereby reducing the risk of moss infestation. Thanks to its tailored nutrient composition, this lawn fertiliser encourages strong rooting and even grass growth. It is also rich in potassium, helping to strengthen the turf against drought, frost and treading.
