Wetting agents penetrant or retentive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Spring is a time when Evapotranspiration usually begins to outstrip rainfall. We don’t tend to see stress on the grass plant as there tends to be no other stresses about to compound the problem (Heat, High UV, Intense management, High traffic, etc) but the soils are still drying down and although we have no visual stress on occasions we could be reducing our opportunities to develop good root structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are big fans of getting wetting agents down during this period as we often see a healthier plant throughout the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also think that using penetrant type wetting agents during this time also has potential to be detrimental. Sometimes this advice is challenged. That’s fine every golf course is different and every situation is different but we like to support our beliefs with trial work to make sure we’re giving the best advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
