In Part 2 of our Irrigation Water Quality series, we explore how soil properties and water chemistry influence plant-available water and irrigation efficiency.

Planning a course renovation with cool season grasses? Biggest mistakes... 1. Seeding outside of the last two weeks of August -- exception is high elevation sites. 2. Opening too soon, it takes 20 growing weeks for a bentgrass green. 3. Pushing for green speed the first season.

What’s really happening between turfgrass roots and soil microbes? The rhizophagy cycle shows how plants work with microbes to access nutrients—and why a healthy, active rootzone matters. Our latest article explores this fascinating process and how Excalibur® and Turf Power™ can support the soil environment where biology thrives. Take a closer look at what’s happening below the surface. 👉 Read more: bit.ly/4xCQTbd #SolutionsPeople #Turfgrass #rootzone #Rhizophagy #Excalibur #TurfPower

What’s happening below the surface during drought stress? Research shows Excalibur®-treated turf demonstrated a 29.6% increase in root viability compared to drought-stressed turf. Healthier, more active roots can mean greater resilience when moisture and heat stress increase. See the research and learn why root viability matters for turf performance.

Not all gypsum performs the same. The difference between calcium sulfate dihydrate and anhydrite can impact how quickly calcium becomes available for improved infiltration, sodium management, and overall turf performance. Learn why Verde-Cal G® is formulated with calcium sulfate dihydrate.

Firmer greens. Fewer ball marks. Healthier turf. Our latest field demonstration shows how Excalibur®, powered by PHT™ Technology, helps create firmer putting surfaces while maintaining plant-available moisture in the rootzone. Better playing conditions without sacrificing turf health.

I talked to Logan Braun, Superintendent at Rochester CC, MN. In 2023 the greens & fairways were converted to 100% 007XL bentgrass. Logan reported the savings on fungicides to control dollar spot is impressive. All courses that now have 007XL are using less fungicides for DS.
