The Future of Sustainable Turf Management
Solid Dew RSL
Solid Dew RSL is a revolutionary, water-soluble soil conditioner designed to be mixed with irrigation water, with a focus on enhancing the quality of golf course turf and promoting superior grass growth. Expertly engineered, this product optimizes the soil structure of the turf and boosts its water and nutrient retention capabilities, leading to healthier, vibrant, and resilient greens.
When introduced into the turf, the polymer integrates seamlessly with the substrate, persisting within the top 10 inches of soil for up to 30 days before gradually dissolving.
Solid Dew RSL
PROMINENT BENEFITS
- Boosts moisture retention within the root zone of the golf course turf, ensuring consistent hydration.
- Minimizes water wastage from irrigation by halting excess water from percolating beyond the root zone.
- Enhances the absorption of soluble nutrients by the grass roots, effectively trapping them within the soil-water matrix.
- Strengthens the physical quality of the turf, making it more resilient to foot traffic and less prone to compaction.
- Extends the period of water availability to the grass, enhancing its overall health and color.
Notable Facts
- Immediate Play. Golfers can play immediately after application, with zero golf course disruptions.
- Solid Dew RSL can absorb up to 200 times its weight in water, extending the period of water accessibility to the grass.
- Once applied, Solid Dew RSL remains active within the turf for up to 30 days, gradually releasing retained water and nutrients.
- This product significantly slows the evaporation rate of water, ensuring its availability for a longer duration.
- Solid Dew RSL establishes an ionic bond between water and soil particles, reducing excessive water flow beyond the root zone.
- One gallon of Solid Dew RSL weighs around 9 pounds.
- Solid Dew RSL has demonstrated to increase the efficiency of irrigation water by up to 30%. Watering frequency is reduced to once every two days!
Comparing Solid Dew RSL To Wetting Agents
Wetting Agents
The golf course supplies sector has a variety of "wetting agents" at its disposal. These agents are surfactants, essentially chemicals that decrease water's surface tension, enhancing its ability to penetrate or seep into the soil. Wetting agents serve a critical role in facilitating the entry of other chemicals, such as pesticides and fertilizers, into the soil and root systems. However, their functionality does not extend to retaining water in the soil's root layer for extended periods, which would enable longer-term absorption by the golf course turf root systems.
Solid Dew RSL
Solid Dew RSL, a product that diverges from the traditional role of wetting agents and surfactants. Its unique characteristic lies in its function as a water retainer, allowing it to maintain the presence of applied water and fertilizers in the soil, thus facilitating prolonged absorption by plant roots.
The advantage of Solid Dew RSL is multifold. It cuts down the quantity of water and fertilizer required for irrigation by ensuring superior retention in the soil. This results in less percolation beyond the roots and slower soil surface evaporation. Given these benefits, Solid Dew RSL's application only needs to take place once a month or following every 7 to 8 inches of rain, thereby eliminating the need for post-application watering of the golf course. In fact, this translates into a reduced watering frequency to just once every two days. Solid Dew RSL is more than a product; it's a solution designed to optimize your golf course's irrigation needs and ensure sustainability.
