Healthy turf depends upon a vigorous root system. A deep root system provides the plants the ability to mine nutrients and water from the soil. During times of environmental stress, such as periods of drought or high temperatures, a deep root system is one of the turf's greatest assets. Plants that are well-rooted will respond more quickly to fertilization and other management practices designed to help the turf recover.
How do we promote deep rooting?
Pro-Active Aerification - creating pore space and channels for roots to easily grow.
Water Management - allowing the soil profile to remain on the drier side to encourage deep aggressive roots.
Nutrient Management - proper fertility will promote root growth during ideal temperatures.
