Prepare your turf for summer 2024/25 with expert moisture management strategies 

Summer 2024/25 is predicted to be one of the hottest on record, posing significant challenges for Turf Managers—especially those managing cool-season turf. Last summer underscored the importance of precise soil moisture management in maintaining turf health under summer stress.

Tricure and Terafirm have become key products in achieving this, offering reliable solutions to optimise soil moisture for healthier turf. Used judiciously, these products allow Turf Managers to balance water distribution and retention effectively, ensuring their turf performs even in the harshest conditions.

At Living Turf, our Technical Services team, led by Paul Looby, stays at the forefront of turfgrass stress management research. Recently, David Worrad further enhanced our expertise by completing a Turfgrass Stress Management course through Greenkeeper University in the USA. Leveraging this knowledge, we provide practical, research-backed strategies to help Turf Managers in maintaining healthy turf throughout summer.

Key considerations for effective turf management include closely monitoring soil moisture and recording data to inform decisions. By using TriCure and Terafirm, we can precisely place water laterally and vertically, to maximise root function, reduce leaching, and minimise irrigation needs. Effective deficit irrigation not only cuts down on disease risk but also builds natural stress tolerance in turf. The POGO system is an invaluable tool, offering precise insights to support efficient decision-making.

The features of TriCure include;

• • Ensures uniform soil moisture distribution both laterally and vertically through multifunctional spread.
• • Penetrates and wets stubborn organic layers within the soil profile to improve water infiltration.
• • 100% Active Ingredient which delivers maximum effectiveness with no fillers, ensuring optimal performance with every application.
• • Retains full functionality even with delayed irrigation, providing flexibility in product application and irrigation timing.
• • Safe for all turf species and offers wide tank mix compatibility, making TriCure the go-to choice for reliable, effective results.
