I can not say whether we got total uniform coverage or not but it did help. We simply turned it on and let it run during the same time the irrigation was running at night. One of the things that we started doing to hit just certain areas was to take a hose end wetting tablet that we would use for the greens and cut it into thirds or fourths, remove the irrigation head guts, place the tablet piece under the nozzle assembly and reinsert the guts into the casing. The tablet piece will dissolve as the head is being run and you can better apply to certain areas for a fraction of the cost. <br /><br />PLCPaul L.

I am curious if you still see uniform results throughout the golf course. We used an injection system before but it seemed to be hit or miss, we didn't see much of a result. Do you run this and then run your program at night? or do you add the tablet and run specific heads for certain areas? I have seen a study where people have put dye into there irrigation system and they would find that maybe 3 out of 4 heads would show dye and the last one would not. Have you seen anything like that? Certain areas not getting hit with the wetting agent?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16451066064217725554noreply@blogger.com
