Dealing with overwatering on the golf course. How can you prevent future malfunctions?

Spongy turf is a sign of root damage due to probably to chafer weevils feeding. Lift the turf affected area and if it comes off easily, the damage is there and now is the time to apply nematodes

Mi experiencia en suelos anegados es abrir estomas con la aplicación de un dicarboxílico de potasio que activa la bomba ion potasio y abre las células oclusivas, que permanecen cerradas por la anoxia

Utilizing existing technology, such as weather stations connected to soil moisture probes, is an excellent starting point for identifying, monitoring, and mitigating water-related issues. Soil compaction in these areas is also critically important. High levels of compaction can hinder root development and nutrient uptake, complicating water absorption. This can indicate ineffective irrigation practices (as if there is water, however there is no water to the roots) or poor drainage systems.

A mí me ha resultado útil conducir el campo bajo lluvia intensa, observar el deslizamiento del agua para identificar las zonas en las que el agua debería penetrar en un drenaje y en su lugar crea un río de agua. Estas zonas pueden ocurrir por: *Drenajes total o parcialmente obstruidos. Debido a la edad de la instalación y al posible mal mantenimiento es muy probable que las raíces hayan penetrado en el tubo de drenaje causando una parcial o total obstrucción impidiendo la correcta evacuación de las aguas. * Cambio del moldeado del campo, esto puede desviar las lluvias concentrando agua en una zona en la que el diámetro del tubo de drenaje es inferior al ahora necesario. *Un mal dise?o o instalación del sistema de drenaje.

Soil sampling is essential for investigating and resolving issues caused by natural factors or inadequate management. However, random soil sampling can be ineffective. As important as it is to understand the soil conditions, it's crucial to define zones by subdividing the area and then sampling these zones individually. One way to achieve this is by using elevation data to classify the area into at least three conditions (high, middle, low), which helps in understanding water distribution. Another option is utilizing EM data to produce a reliable map that defines soil electrical conductivity zones. This approach ensures more precise and effective soil management, leading to improved agricultural success.

Treating water can be one of the most important ways to increase soil health as well as increase infiltration. Water treatment with ozone and AOP like The Rain Box does more than any other single thing I have used.

If it's a certain area that reoccurring due to soil type or slope putting in tiling will help rid the standing water. Also checking your irrigation system and using quality components. Cheap nozzles are easy to break and have no longevity.
