Improving Water Infiltration and Reducing Standing Water on Golf Courses

Standing water can be a sign of poor soil infiltration, compaction, or drainage problems. When water remains on the soil surface instead of moving into the root zone, turf may have less access to the moisture and oxygen it needs for healthy growth.

In this customer testimonial, a golf course superintendent discusses how BioLynceus® soil and turf products were incorporated into the course-management program to improve soil conditions and reduce areas of standing water.

Supporting Better Soil Infiltration

Improving soil structure and root-zone conditions can help water move more effectively through the soil profile.

According to the superintendent, the BioLynceus® program helped support:

• Improved water infiltration

• Reduced standing water

• Better soil structure

• Healthier root-zone conditions

• Improved turf performance

• More efficient irrigation management

Better Water Movement for Healthier Turf

Healthy turf depends on a root zone that can effectively manage both water and air.

When soil becomes compacted or poorly structured, water may pool at the surface instead of moving downward into the root zone.

Listen to this golf course superintendent explain how BioLynceus® products were used as part of a soil-health program to improve water movement and reduce standing water across the course.
