Controlling grubs is a standard issue a turf manager gears up for each spring. Not because they want to – but because they have to. This is a predictably recurrent group of pests for which running the gauntlet hoping for a season of mild pest pressure probably isn’t worth it.

The use of wetting agents has become common practice across the turf management industry as we are driven by a combination of environmental factors and player expectations. As scarcity of water, demands to reduce water usage, changing climatic conditions, and incidences of dry patch affecting surface playability become rising concerns, Australian turf managers are seeking further solutions.

In summer, downpours from storms help dams catch on-site water but often are ‘shandied’ with alternate sources to maintain supply and site viability. For this reason monitoring and management of water quality over time is vitally important.

Annual soil and water testing are sources of important data that should form a strong part of turf management decision making. Whilst they may get periodically performed, sometimes these tests are considered independent of each other, or analysed in isolation from other relevant factors which means we can miss the opportunity to join some dots on critical interactions occurring between them.
