What are Mosses and why are they a problem for my turf?
Mosses are plants comparatively simple in structure and function and,with the Liverworts, comprise the Bryophyta family - one of the least complicated groups of the plant kingdom.
Mosses are found in very many situations, for example, on stones, tree trunks and turf. If you have moss on your lawns or turf then it is primarily an indicator that you are not looking after the millions of individual grass plants that make up your lawn!!
About 600 species of moss occur naturally in this Country, but only a few are common on turf. Distinguishing three types of moss is helpful, as each of the three groups of turf-inhibiting mosses tends to occur under rather different conditions.
