To reduce Crested Wheatgrass pollen production and, subsequently, improve your allergic conditions, some lawn care strategies can be adopted. Regular mowing can be beneficial; however, you should take care not to cut your grass too short. A height of around three inches is ideal to prevent the growth of flowering stems, which are responsible for pollen production. Also, do note that mowing should be done by someone who isn't allergic, or while wearing protective gear such as masks and glasses, as this activity can disperse pollen into the air.
Keeping your lawn well-watered can also suppress pollen levels. Watering in early morning or late evening is preferable to conserve water and avoid rapid evaporation caused by the daytime heat.
Try to plant female varieties of plants and trees in your garden; these types don't produce pollen. Alternatively, certain dwarf varieties of wheatgrass produce less pollen.
Finally, ensure your lawn's overall health is good. Regular feeding with an appropriate fertilizer, coupled with good watering practices, can keep your grass robust and more resistant to diseases. All these measures, combined with regular checks and timely intervention, can help reduce the pollen count drastically.
If you still experience allergic reactions, antihistamine or nasal corticosteroids can provide relief. Consult your healthcare provider for the best allergy medication based on your health condition.
