States that "the two major functions of turfgrass roots are to absorb water and nutrients and act as an anchor to keep the plant secure in the ground." Provides tips that may help in stimulating root growth, focusing on aeration practices, mowing practices, fertilizer applications, organic matter, pests control, drainage, pH levels; and environmental conditions. Suggests using primo Maxx as a plant growth regulator. |
