Wetting agent re-application intervals by growing degree days (GDD) with Bill Kreuser

The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods

Can soil surfactant (wetting agent) applications be scheduled based on site temperatures? Can a growing degree day model work for this? Dr. Bill Kreuser, president of Greenkeeper, joined me to discuss his exciting progress with this research.
