Abstract
The effect of wetting agents on the decorative qualities of the lawn covering formed by the plants of the bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) of the ‘PLS’ variety mixture has been studied. The studies were carried out in a small-plot field experiment on sandy soil, in the conditions of the Moscow region. All research is aimed at studying the demand in the golf industry, which will help to understand the effectiveness and appropriateness of the use of investigational agents. Watering is an important operation necessary for the normal growth and development of perennial grasses growing on a well-drained sandy profile of golf courses. It is also quite costly. Currently, there are a huge number of different agents, technologies and tools for monitoring the condition and care of the grass standg.
According to the results of these studies, Revolution was the best wetting agent, with the lowest percentage of dry patches and optimum soil moisture throughout the entire study. According to the main indicators of decorativeness of the bentgrass, the highest scores on the NTEP scale were in the bentgrass stands with the use of Revolution in the volume of 20 l/ha: germination (6 / 6.6 / 5.6), color (6.6 / 7.6 / 6), uniformity (4.3 / 7 / 7.3) germination (6/6.6/5.6), colour (6.6/7.6/6), uniformity (4.3/7/7.3); with the use of Revolution in the volume of 10 l/ha – germination (5.6 / 6.6 / 5.6), color (6.6 / 7.6 / 6.6), uniformity (4.6 / 7.6 / 6).
