Optimising Soil Moisture: TriCure plus Terafirm

Turf professionals understand that water management is the foundation of high-quality turf. Whether its excess moisture leading to soft, waterlogged surfaces or hydrophobic soils causing dry spots, the key to healthy turf lies in striking the right moisture balance. 

At Living Turf, we offer two innovative solutions – Tricure and Terafirm – to help manage water movement in the soil profile. Used individually or in combination, these products maximise soil performance, playability, and turf health.

Tricure is a soil surfactant designed to combat hydrophobic soil conditions and localised dry spots (LDS). It ensures that irrigation and rainfall effectively reach the root zone, leading to a more uniform moisture profile and improved turf resilience. 

Key Benefits of TriCure:

√ Enhances water penetration and uniform distribution 

√ Reduces water loss due to runoff 

√ Increases root mass and length

While Tricure ensures uniform moisture availability, Terafirm does the opposite.
It actively moves excess water away from the surface, preventing waterlogging and firming up playing conditions.

Key Benefits of Terafirm:

√ Promotes downward water movement for faster soil drainage 

√ Reduces puddling and anaerobic conditions

√ Helps maintain firm playing surfaces

By preventing prolonged moisture retention, Terafirm helps turf maintain structural integrity, reducing compaction and soft, muddy conditions.

A Winning Combination: Placing TriCure and Terafirm Together

While TriCure enhances water infiltration and retention, Terafirm ensures excess water moves away efficiently. So when used together, these products provide a balanced approach to soil moisture management.

How they work in tandem:

• TriCure enhances moisture retention where needed, ensuring hydration in dry areas. 

• Terafirm promotes faster drainage, preventing oversaturation and improving surface conditions. 

• Together, they optimise water movement throughout the entire soil profile, ensuring turf is neither too dry nor too wet. 

By preventing prolonged moisture retention, Terafirm helps turf maintain structural integrity, reducing compaction and soft, muddy conditions.

Get the Best of Both Worlds

By using TriCure and Terafirm strategically, you can take control of soil moisture like never before keeping your turf strong, healthy, and ready for play in all conditions.
