1 Field evaluation of wetting agent efficacy against localized dry spot, soil moisture, and root system growth on creeping bentgrass putting green turf - 21 trial. K. Carey, A.J. Porter, E.M. Lyons and K.S. Jordan Department of Plant Agriculture and the Guelph Turfgrass Institute, University of Guelph, Ontario. The objective was to determine efficacy of wetting agents on creeping bentgrass putting green turf on a high sand rootzone. Efficacy against localized dry spot, effects on soil moisture content, and on root system growth and health were to be determined. MATERIALS/METHODS The experiment was located on the alternative construction putting green at the GTI, which is a typical industry standard green of this type, with 3 cm of USGA specification rootzone mixture (8% sand, 2% peat v/v) on a graded subsoil with tile drains but no gravel drainage layer (Figure 1). Permanent turf cover on this green is 'Cobra' creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) and invasive weedy Poa annua. The green has developed hydrophobic layers in previous seasons. Standard cultural practices were maintained (mowing at 5 mm, regular fertility). Test Design: The test was a complete randomized block design with four replicates per treatment. Each plot measured 2 m x 2 m. Treatments: Treatments listed in Table 1 were applied via a calibrated compressed air sprayer (2 psi, Teejet 81VS flat fan nozzles, 2 ml sec-1) on May 13, June 1, July 7, August 6, September 2, and September 3, 21. All liquid applications were made in 1 ml of water per square meter (1 L 1 m -2 ). Control plots were treated with water only. Treatments were watered following application. Data collected included Environmental Data: Environmental data collected included daily max/min air temperature, irrigation records (turfgrass site manager), rainfall and an initial soil analysis: macro and micronutrients, soil type, particle size, % organic matter. Evaluation: Turf health and uniformity were assessed with canopy reflectance measurements (normalized-difference vegetation index; Greenseeker). The NDVI values are decreased by phytotoxicity, drought, localized dry spot, and have been shown to be well correlated with visual estimates of turf quality. Plots were evaluated for visual rating of localized dry spot when it occurred. The extent of the symptoms was recorded as the percentage exhibiting symptoms. Table 1. Treatments.

2 Figure 1. Plot area on research green, May 28, 21. Soil moisture readings (% volumetric water) were recorded using a ThetaProbe soil moisture meter. Water droplet absorption tests were made on 4-6 cm soil cores: 4 soil cores, approximately 15 cm each, were taken from each plot, air dried for two weeks at room temperature, and evaluated for hydrophobicity using the water droplet penetration test (time to penetration of a 35 μl droplet of distilled water placed at 1 cm intervals along the core starting at the thatch-air interface and ending at 6 cm). Data Analysis: Data were analysed and means compared using appropriate statistical methods (ANOVA). RESULTS Environmental data. Rainfall and temperature data were recorded at the Environment Canada weather station in the research ranges at the GTI (Figures 2 and 3).

3 slightly below normal for summer in Guelph, with only four days above 3 C. To increase the likelihood of localized dry spot development, irrigation was withheld from the plots after the middle of July. Turf performance: canopy reflectance. Canopy reflectance readings were significantly different among the treatments on all observation dates (Table 2.) The Greenseeker is very sensitive to NDVI variation, which reflects turf health (chlorophyll content, photosynthetic activity, growth rate), as well as stresses (phytotoxicity from treatments, drought stress, localized dry spot development). Early in the season (April and May), prior to treatment applications, there were some residual differences among treatments from the 29 applications. The treatments which had had the least hydrophobicity and LDS symptoms in 29 (Respond 3 and the three Neptune liquid treatments), had lower canopy reflectance values. The absolute value of the differences was small, and there was no visible difference among the plots in turf quality or color. Once applications began on May 28, there was no evidence of phytotoxicity, which would have appeared as a decline in NDVI immediately following applications compared to the control plots, in any of the treatments; this confirmed visual assessments of the plots. Over the course of the trial, the performance of the liquid application treatments as assessed by canopy reflectance was consistently higher than the control (Figure 4). The granular treatments were often not significantly better than the control, although the 1x and 2x rates were better than the 1/2x rate. Localized dry spot.

5 half of July and in September. Irrigation was withheld from the plot areas during this period. On the dates when LDS differences were significant, the pattern was similar to that observed in the canopy reflectance data (Table 3). The localized dry spot was relieved best by the liquid wetting agent treatments at label rate. The granular treatments were less efficacious, particularly at low rates. Volumetric water content. There were significant differences among treatments for volumetric water content as measured with the ThetaProbe on all dates (Table 4). Water contents were well into adequately watered range on all dates (field capacity on a USGA sand rootzone is typically 25-3%). During the drought periods in July and September, there were areas in the most significantly affected plots with volumetric water contents less than 1%. The pattern of treatments increasing volumetric water content was similar to the patterns observed in LDS and canopy reflectance, with the liquid treatments having the best effect, and the higher rate granular treatments some limited effectiveness.

6 localized dry spot development was correlated with other observed variables on the dates when LDS was significant. There was a clear decline in canopy reflectance with an increase in localized dry spot (Figure 5).

Association between canopy reflectance and soil moisture (VWC). The correlation coefficients was.63. Charted values are plot means for the 32 plots. Water drop penetration tests / hydrophobicity. Data from the cores collected during the trial indicate that the rootzone in these plots continues to be severely hydrophobic. In fact, comparison of WDPT tests done in connection with various trials over several years show a steady increase in depth and severity of hydrophobic conditions up until 29 (Figure 8). In other trials on the same green the increase in hydrophobicity continued through 21, but in this trial there was a slight decline at all depths in hydrophobicity, though the overall levels remain high. The water drop penetration tests from this trial showed the most consistent treatment effect patterns in the upper layers of the rootzone ( and 1 cm deep) (Table 5). There were few significant pre-treatment differences (residual effects from 29 treatments), although there was a correlation between the 29 and 21 values (Figure 9). The levels of hydrophobicity that developed later in the season were only relieved by treatments at or near the surface. There was a rate effect in the liquid treatments at the and 1 cm depth, but no significant effects with the granular treatments. Significant difference in deeper layers indicate a noisy background. When differences among treatments were significant, the best effects were with the 1x and 2x rates, which were not statistically different. The Respond 3 treatments were no better than the best experimental treatments at reducing hydrophobicity. 6 Guelph Turfgrass Institute 21 Annual Research Report

Association between wdpt data for end of season 29 and pre-treatment 21. Treatment means by depth are plotted (7 depths per treatment). The association is statistically significant (Pearson r=.74). CONCLUSIONS Wetting agent treatment effects on localized dry spot were limited to late July and then in September, in large part because the wet summer did not allow LDS to persist. During the most stressed period, the 4 liquid wetting agent treatments all provided significant relief from LDS compared to the control. The two higher rates of granular wetting agent provided some relief, but the ½ rate of granular wetting agent was not significantly different from the control. These results are in very good agreement with the 29 trial results. The canopy reflectance data, which is indicative of photosynthetic activity and plant health, showed similar clear patterns, particularly in the September dry period. Soil moisture readings also showed a similar pattern, though the absolute moisture contents were rarely down to the permanent wilting point (<1%). The general ranking of the treatments across all three data sets was Respond 3 = Liquid 2x > Liquid 1x >Liquid 1/2x > Granular 2x > Granular 1x > Granular 1/2x, Control Treatment effects on hydrophobicity of the soil as measured by the water drop penetration tests were limited to the upper 2 cm of the soil profile, and only appeared at the end of the season. The liquid treatments at 1x and 2x were as effective as the positive control (Respond 3). Sponsor: United Agri Products Canada Inc. 8 Guelph Turfgrass Institute 21 Annual Research Report
