| Abstract/Contents: | There were no statistically significant differences in annual quality means as a result of wetting agent application in either year. Cascade Plus, Hydro-Wet, LescoFlo and TriCure resulted in quality ratings that were numerically higher than the control in both years. Plots treated with these products generally had a more uniform appearance. Wetting agents affected WDPT only at the 0.5-centimeter (0.2-inch) depth. In 2003, all products except Naiad significantly reduced WDPT at the 0.5-centimeter (0.2-inch) depth compared to the control. Aqueduct, Brilliance, Cascade Plus, Hydro-Wet, LescoFlo and TriCure were most effective. Primer Select, Respond 2 and Surfside 37 were intermediate in their effectiveness. In 2004, all products except Naiad and Surfside 37 significantly decreased WDPT at the 0.5-centimeter (0.2-inch) depth compared to the untreated control. No phytotoxicity data are shown, but Cascade Plus resulted in moderate phytotoxicity for two weeks following the first application in both years (May 27, 2003; May 18, 2004), and for three days following the second application in 2003 (June 6) and one week in 2004 (May 28). Hydro-Wet resulted in moderate phytotoxicity for 10 days following the third application in 2004 (Aug. 10). Brilliance resulted in moderate phytotoxicity for 10 days following the third application in 2004 (Aug. 20). |
