| Abstract/Contents: | "As new wetting agents reach the market for putting green management, it is important to understand not only how they affect the incidence of localized dry spot (LDS), but also how they affect moisture retention and distribution throughout the putting green rootzone. The objective of this research was to determine how localized dry spot incidence, and soil moisture content and uniformity were affected by the application of "Immerse GT" and "Immerse GT 2009", two newer wetting agent products from Amega Sciences. Wetting agents were applied during the 2009 growing season and evaluated under conditions of moderate and infrequent irrigation application. Both wetting agents tested in this study significantly reduced LDS formation compared to the untreated control. In addition, neither wetting agent significantly increased soil moisture values under wet conditions, whereas both wetting agents significantly increased soil moisture content and uniformity, compared to the untreated turf, during periods of drought stress. It appears that these relatively new wetting agents can be used to effectively manage LDS and improve rootzone moisture distribution." |
