Algae in Turf Management

Algae are primitive green plants. They can be a problem in turfgrass when surface conditions are overly wet. They tend to occur in low, shaded, or compacted areas. Algae form a greenish to black scum on the soil or in thin turf. As this blackish scum dries, it appears as a crust that later cracks. Turfgrass plants may become chlorotic (yellowed), weak, and eventually die as a result of Algae competition.

Culturally, algal scums can be managed in turf by employing the following methods:

  • Improving surface and subsurface drainage
  • Avoiding frequent irrigation, especially at night
  • Aerification of compacted areas
  • Maintaining proper pH and nutritional levels
  • Increasing mowing height where possible and practical
  • Improving light penetration to the turf sward
  • Using more shade tolerant grasses where shade is the major cause of the problem.
