Shining a light on water management
nderstanding how
U carefully managed moisture levels can play a significant role in the reduction of some common turf diseases , Headland Amenity will be shining a spotlight on their range of water management products - including TeraFirm , DewCure and TriCure AD - at BTME 2022 . The Headland technical team will be on hand to discuss this , alongside their full range of plant nutrition products for golf and sports turf on the Origin Amenity Solutions stand – Purple 424 .
Maintaining optimum water-soil balance in both wet and dry periods of the season is a key principle in the overall approach to retaining plant health . Terafirm is a soil penetrant formulated to improve the downward movement of water through the soil , helping to achieve a fasterdraining , firmer and healthier surface . Its unique non-phytoxic formulation reduces the surface tension of water , minimising lateral water movement and maximising drainage . Terafirm also acts to quicken surface drying and open up pore space within the soil during dry down by accelerating natural soil contraction .
Through the formation of a waterresistant , rainfast coating on the plants surface , Headland ’ s DewCure™ has also demonstrated considerable success in reducing leaf surface moisture . With the activity of damaging foliar diseases like Microdochium nivale and Dollar Spot positively linked with conditions conducive to high leaf moisture , utilising
DewCure™ to control dew and guttation fluid can help to suppress disease activity .
Looking further ahead , TriCure AD is known as a highly effective wetting agent used to combat hydrophobic conditions on fine turf . With application rates adjustable to conditions , expectations and soil types , TriCure AD contains three separate soil surfactant technologies to counteract hydrophobicity on sand , soil and organic matter . As well as being effective in the recovery of drought damaged areas , TriCure AD is also a valuable tank-mix partner for a number of other Headland products .
