Summer is here and with it comes the one thing most golf course superintendents can be certain of: the occurrence of localized dry spots (LDS). This three-hour online course will teach you how to identify, treat, and manage LDS caused by water repellent soil. Discover the causes of LDS and the factors contributing to it. Developed in partnership with Keith Karnok, Ph.D., you'll learn methods to determine if your soil is water repellent and compare management strategies for alleviating LDS caused by these soils. Discover the influence of seasonal variations and soil texture on water repellent soils. In addition you'll learn about the primary management practices for improving root growth and how wetting agents can be used most effectively to reduce LDS.
