There’s a world of possibilities beneath our feet and optimizing the synergies between plant and soil can make all the difference when it comes to building turf that can survive almost anything! In this presentation we will uncover the unique relationship between turf, soil and soil biology. We will look at how soil type influences things like photosynthesis, stress tolerance and rooting potential.
