What is corn gluten meal?
Corn gluten meal is a natural product derived from the processing of corn. In horticulture, it is used to support lawn health. Rich in nutrients, especially nitrogen and iron, corn gluten meal helps feed the lawn and promotes dense, vigorous growth.
How does corn gluten meal work on lawns?
Corn gluten meal has a dual action on lawns. First, it provides nutrients that help grass grow stronger and denser. A thicker lawn naturally leaves less space for weeds to settle in. Second, corn gluten meal works as a pre-emergent weed control. When applied at the right time and activated with moisture, it causes young weed seedlings to dry out before they can take root.
Corn gluten meal: An effective ally against crabgrass
Corn gluten meal is especially effective against crabgrass, a common annual weed found in many lawns. As crabgrass germinates early in spring, it is particularly sensitive to corn gluten meal’s preventive action. Applied when the soil temperature reaches approximately10°C, corn gluten meal helps limit this weed’s establishment and reduces its spread throughout the season.
