What’s really happening between turfgrass roots and soil microbes?

The rhizophagy cycle shows how plants work with microbes to access nutrients—and why a healthy, active rootzone matters.

Our latest article explores this fascinating process and how Excalibur® and Turf Power™ can support the soil environment where biology thrives.

Take a closer look at what’s happening below the surface.

What’s happening below the surface?

Healthy turf starts with an active rootzone—and new research takes a closer look at how Excalibur® impacts soil respiration and biological activity in turfgrass soils.

The results provide another piece of the puzzle in understanding how moisture management can influence more than just water movement.

See the research. See the results.

Rain doesn’t always mean uniform hydration.

Heavy rainfall can still lead to uneven water movement, soft surfaces, and dry pockets—especially in hydrophobic soils.

That’s why maintaining your soil surfactant program matters, even during wet weather. Keep water moving into and through the profile more uniformly and be better prepared for the next dry-down.

PROVEN PERFORMANCE. BACKED BY RESEARCH.

When it comes to seeding, placement matters. Independent trials have demonstrated the performance of the Vredo seeding system, delivering up to 98% even seed distribution and 96% germination.

Consistent placement. Strong establishment. Proven results.

The Solheim Cup didn’t end the way we hoped for Team USA, but the work behind the scenes at Bernardus Golf deserves recognition.

We’re proud of what Niall Richardson, the agronomy team, and the volunteers accomplished in preparing the course for one of golf’s biggest stages. Their care, expertise, and long hours showed throughout the week.

Our European distribution partner, Aqua Aid Europe, shares a closer look at the water-management program behind those playing conditions: https://bit.ly/4xXzwTI

Congratulations to Team Europe on the win, and thank you to everyone who helped make the event possible. 👏

Bookend Your Turf Season. Remove. Optimize. Perform.

Start strong in spring and finish clean in fall with OARS® HS or OARS® PS to remove hydrophobic organic acids. Then maximize summer performance with Excalibur® for consistent moisture, firmer surfaces, and healthier turf all season long.

Stronger roots. Better water efficiency. More uniform playability.

Drought conditions continue to worsen across large portions of the U.S., and the most important moisture management decisions may already be happening right now.

This video breaks down why early-season surfactant applications are critical for improving infiltration, optimizing plant-available water, and preparing turf for summer stress before localized dry spot and turf decline appear. 👇

What’s happening below the surface during drought stress?

Research shows Excalibur®-treated turf demonstrated a 29.6% increase in root viability compared to drought-stressed turf. Healthier, more active roots can mean greater resilience when moisture and heat stress increase.

See the research and learn why root viability matters for turf performance.
