PACE analysis of the GCSAA-USGA wetting agent evaluation

Trial locations: In both 2003 and 2004, the GCSAA and USGA worked with researchers in 9 states to implement wetting agent field studies. In six of those locations (Florida, New Mexico, California, Georgia, Michigan and Washington), soil hydrophobicity was high enough to allow researchers to detect significant differences between the different products that were tested. However, in three locations (Texas, New York, Missouri), hydrophobic soils failed to develop (this is why it's so important to set up multiple trials! There…
