Turf
13 JUN 2025
Due to unfavorable weather conditions over the past few days, we have had to postpone the aeration of Le Maitre greens until next week. As you know, this operation is important for the long-term health of our playing surfaces, and we thank you for your understanding.
However, this rainy weather has enabled us to maximize another essential intervention: the application of wetting agents to a large part of the pitch.
Why now?
Wetting agents are specialized products we apply to help water penetrate the soil and improve the moisture content of the root profile.
In particular, they help to
- Reduce localized dry spots on greens
- Optimize watering, by standardizing water distribution
- Preserve turfgrass health, by maintaining a more stable moisture level.
The arrival of rain provided an ideal moment for this application, as it helps to get the product down to where it's most effective: in the root zone.
We'll keep an eye on changing conditions to plan aeration as soon as possible. Thank you again for your patience and support in maintaining your courses.
