(1032-01) Localized dry spots on sand-based putting greens are common everywhere. Wetting agents are effective treatment in treating these, but many superintendents question the use and results in greens that are too wet or dry. Identify the cause of localized dry spots; learn how wetting agents overcome water repellent root zones & how soil moisture is affected after application. Learn: how various wetting agents suppress localized dry spots, affect rootzone moisture, surface firmness, ball roll, how wetting agents are classified – penetrant or retainer, and how application timing & post-application irrigation affects surface efficacy.
