What are the exact ingredients on the Scott's Winterguard bag? The current school of thought for winterizer is a fast release nitrogen when topgrowth stops, usually in late november. This would be ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, or urea (not sulfur coated however). One caveat, since your grass is new there is evidence that late season nitrogen applications can increase the incidence of snow mold.

I have a bag that reads 32-0-10

timeco...I was planning on putting some urea down on my lawn this November but since it is new seed do you not recommend it? This is the first I have heard of late season nitrogen increasing snow mold. Should I be putting down some cornmeal to help lessen the chances of this happening?

32-0-10 doesn't tell you where the nitrogen comes from. If it is sulfur coated urea, then it is long acting. The sources of quick release nitrogen are ammonium sulphate and nitrate, and straight urea.

You can get snow mold on any turf, but younger turf is more susceptible. Snow mold usually happens when it snows a lot before the ground is frozen, and when the snow covers the grass for long durations. If it doesn't kill the crowns, grass usually recovers by late spring. Personally I probably wouldn't use a winterizer on new turf, my last drop would be in late October. I am also not a huge believer in cornmeal as a fungicide, but it won't hurt.

Thanks for the help timeco.

I will follow your advice since your haven't steered me wrong yet. I will do my finally application late October and call it quits on any applications till the spring.
