A Focus on Physical Properties and How they Affect the Performance of Your Sports Field
Join us for a seminar on the physical properties of rootzone and how they affect the performance of your installation. This seminar will examine the concepts of physical properties of sand and soil that are applicable to sports field rootzones. Attendees will learn how the interaction of air and water works within the soil to support healthy turf. We will cover the scientific basis of factors affecting rootzone performance as well as provide practical advice on how to make your installation successful.
