Dr. Stan Kostka, Dr. Mike Fidanza, and Bill Brown, CGCS showcase cutting-ed research and how certain surface-active agents influence plant root exudates, modify the rhizosphere, and enhance turf resilience. Examples will be drawn from "in field" evaluations on novel soil surfactant technology. 

 

 

In the past decade, significant research advances have begun to unravel relationships between soil, water, nutrients, and the diversity plant-microbe-soil fauna and plant to plant interactions right beneath our feet. 

We’re now beginning to get a glimpse of these interactions and their consequence on turfgrass performance particularly under stress conditions. 

The goal of this seminar is to distill down this cutting-edge research and translate its relationship to current production issues, including how certain surface-active agents influence plant root exudates, modify the rhizosphere, and enhance turf resilience.

Examples will be drawn from “in field’ evaluations on novel soil surfactant technology and industry standards.
