Frost

Frost is a common occurance this time of year. Essentially frost is dew that has frozen and crystallized on the outside of the plant. It is important not to walk or ride on turf that has a frost because it will cause the plant to break and the cell wall to rupture. The grass blades
are similar to egg shells when frost occurs and can break apart from the slightest pressure. Although not instantly apparent within 1 to 2 days the plant leaves will turn black and leave an unsightly footprint or tire track.
