Abstract/Contents: | The soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (spac) describes the continuous flow of water into and through the soil, into and through the plant, and into the atmosphere and continuing back to the soil. Wetting agents primary role in the water management of spac relates to the flow of surface applied water into and through the soil so that the turfgrass plants can function. Soil wetting agents accomplish this by: first assuring infiltration, second improving percolation and drainage thus aiding rootzone aeration, and third by assuring uniform availably of rootzone moisture. Article discusses infiltration, drainage, uniformity, and secondary benefits of soil wetting agents. |
