The Benefits of Consumable Water Management Products

Presented by James J. Spindler, C.P. Ag., C.C.A., C.P.S.S., Director of Agronomy, Ecologel Solutions, LLC

Water management has become a major concern over the last decade or more. Influenced by rising costs, recurrent drought, use restrictions, politics and social pressures, turf and landscape managers are expected to do more with less. Beyond the advancements in irrigation hardware and software, there are a variety of consumable technologies and products designed to manage water in the soil and further maximize watering efficiencies.  This session will show attendees how and why to use the various technologies, how to maintain healthy turfgrass and landscapes during periods of drought or watering restrictions and the economic benefits of using water management solutions as part of a regular program.
