Why Topdress with MT12
Topdressing allows for the addition of soil amendments which can improve the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the soil, thus enhancing turf quality, vigor, and improving resistance to soil and environmental stresses. Today, the use of high quality compost and compost blends allows for economic topdressing of turf areas.
Core aeration and topdressing are supplemental culture practices that were developed within the golf industry. Today these practices are widely used throughout the turf industry as a means to renovate poor quality turf and to assist in the maintenance of heavily used turf areas. Core aeration and topdressing are used throughout the commercial, municipal, and homeowner turf markets.
