Secret Weapon: The one product to keep in your program right now – Summer Edition

For when localized dry spot starts stealing the show. 

Some turf challenges demand immediate attention, localized dry spot is one of them. When stressed turf begins to decline and irrigation alone isn’t delivering results, you need a solution that works quickly and hopefully prevents it from returning. That’s where Aqueduct® Flex Granular quietly becomes your secret weapon.

The Problem 

Summer heat, inconsistent rainfall, and hydrophobic soils can create localized dry spots and that’s hard to recover from. Water beads up, runs off, or bypasses the rootzone entirely, making it difficult for stressed turf to receive the moisture it needs. This results in uneven playing conditions, increased hand watering, and additional labor during the busiest time of the season.

Why Now 

By late summer, many turf managers are fighting localized dry spot while trying to maintain consistent playing conditions under increasing environmental stress. Waiting for rainfall isn’t a strategy, and simply applying more water often doesn’t solve the problem. Restoring uniform soil moisture becomes critical for both turf health and water-use efficiency.

The Secret Weapon 

Aqueduct® Flex Granular is a fast-acting, dual-action soil surfactant designed to both treat existing localized dry spot and help prevent future outbreaks. It improves water infiltration, retention, and distribution throughout the rootzone, helping moisture reach where the plant needs it most. When applied at the treatment rate, visible recovery can occur in as little as three days, while preventative applications provide up to 30 days of protection against the development of localized dry spot.

What Makes It Different 

✔ Treats existing localized dry spot with visible recovery in as little as 3 days
✔ Helps prevent localized dry spot for up to 30 days with monthly applications
✔ Improves water infiltration, retention, and uniform moisture distribution
✔ Safe for all turf varieties, including greens, tees, fairways, athletic fields, and residential turf

The Takeaway 

Aqueduct® Flex Granular is a complete moisture management solution that helps prevent and recover from localized dry spot while maximizing irrigation.
