Abstract/Contents: | Details how wetting agents and soil moisture meters may be used to improve green conditions. Discusses how the usage of wetting agents improves water absorption by hydrophobic soils, which can potentially prevent localized dry spots (LDS). Suggests the use of soil moisture sensors can give data which can potentially be used to make better and more accurate decisions regarding irrigation and water conservation. |
