Video: Localized dry spot and root zone depth

Localized dry spot is a common problem on greens. The cause can be biological, as a result of fairy ring attack or other types of microbial interactions that produce hydrophobic chemicals that coat soil particles. A more common cause of dry spot is uneven irrigation distribution that results in dry areas. In some cases, varying depths of the sand root zone is the culprit. In this video, we illustrate a localized dry spot problem that is cause by non-uniform depth…
