Episode Description from the Publisher

Can low oxygen in the soil stop turfgrass roots from growing deeper? This video examines the science from “Physical Soil Amendments, Soil Compaction, Irrigation, and Wetting Agents in Turfgrass Management III. Effects on Oxygen Diffusion Rate and Root Growth” by J. Letey, W. C. Morgan, S. J. Richards, and N. Valoras (1966), exploring what this classic turfgrass research actually found about soil oxygen, compaction, irrigation, and root growth. #Turfgrass #SoilOxygen #RootGrowth #SoilScience #TurfScience 📌 https://www.gofundme.com/f/TurfgrassEpistemology Thank you for being part of this community and for supporting evidence-based turfgrass science.
