| Abstract/Contents: | "Several wetting agent treatments were applied to a Penncross creeping bentgrass putting green to evaluate effects on localized dry spots, dew and frost formation and phytotoxicity. Plot size was 4' x 6'. Plots were not irrigated to determine the potential for phytotoxicity. ...Hydroflo L (liquid) and LescoWet were more phytotoxic than AquaGro liquid. While some minor injury was detected with the higher rate of Hydro Wet, this proved the safest of the liquid materials evaluated. The Hydroflo and AquaGro granular materials resulted in no injury to the turf. LescoWet II was considerably less injurious than LescoWet. In terms of dew reduction the order of effectiveness was Hydroflo L > LescoWet > AquaGro > HydroWet = LescoWet II > AquaGro granular = Hydroflo G. A second wetting agent study was begun October 6 to evaluate wetting agent effects on formation on [of] dew and frost.Generally, Hydroflo was most effective in reducing dew formations followed by LescoWet and AquaGro. Other materials reduced dew compared to the check on some dates. Granular wetting agents responded slowly and over the month of this study did not prove of longer effect than liquid applications. Effects of wetting agents on frost formation were less clearly defined although good differences occurred on the October 20 rating date." The lack of significant development of LDS prevented evaluation of the effect of wetting agents on dry spot. |
