S4 E39 When Were Wetting Agents First Used for Turfgrasses?

Can wetting agents improve water movement in golf course turf? In this video, we explore the classic paper "Turfgrass Improvement with a New Water" by Robert A. Moore (1957) and examine how wetting agents help water penetrate the soil, reduce localized dry spots, and promote healthier turfgrass. Discover why this pioneering research continues to influence modern golf course management and turfgrass science. Paper: Turfgrass Improvement with a New Water Author: Robert A.
