| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study "conducted during the summer months of 2003 and 2004 at New Mexico State University's golf course is Las Cruces" to determine the effect of 10 different wetting agents. Details the materials and methods used in the study, stating that "the wetting agents - Aqueduct, Brilliance, Cascade Plus, HydoWet, LescoFlo, Naiad, Primer Select, Respond 2, Surfside 37 and Tri-Cure - were applied according to label directions...Untreated (control) plots received only water." Reports that "analysis of turfgrass colour [color] and quality revealed wetting agent by year interactions but no significant three-way interaction between wetting agent, year, and DAT [days after treatment]." Results indicate "a significant interaction between wetting agents, DAT, and year, but no four-way interaction between wetting agent, DAT, depth and year. Therefore, water droplet penetration times were pooled over sampling depths and presented separately for DAT and year." States that "most wetting agents included in this two-year study alleviated hydophobicity in a sandy turfgrass rootzone at depths of 0.5cm [centimeters] and 1.5cm. Also, water repellency in the rootzone had a direct impact on turfgrass quality." Concludes that "multiple-year studies which consider annual variations in weather conditions may be more useful in assessing the overall performance of individual wetting agents." |
