| Abstract/Contents: | "For turf managers, soil surfactants are important tools for improving water-use efficiently, maintaining turf quality and reducing expenses. The overall goal of this field trial was to evaluate the addition of three EO/PO block copolymer surfactants as a component of a sports field water management strategy in West Deptford, New Jersey, USA. Three irrigated soccer fields were split down the center, and treated with one of the three surfactants. An unirrigated softball field was also tested. Turf quality (TQ), volumetric water content (VWC) and chlorophyll content (CC) were measured weekly for a total of 24 weeks. The softball field treated with surfactant showed the greatest improvement. Turf quality, VWC and CC were higher in the surfactant treated area. On one of the soccer fields, the surfactant significantly reduced VWC when there was too much water on the field." |
