I fertilized my lawn last month. New grass is growing in with a white power on it. Is it dangerous?
I also put down a round of bug killer in granular form. Not sure why the grass is growing in with white on it.. it's kinda powdery. Is this dangerous for my child to play in?

It's hard to determine the cause of the white powder. It could be residue from the fertilizer or pesticide. It may also be some type of fungal disease. I'd take a sample to your local Cooperative Extension office and ask if they can help identify it. You can find your local office here:
