“…Soil surfactants have been used historically in the turfgrass industry to alleviate soil hydrophobicity and improve infiltration and percolation (Cisar, Willimas, Vicas, & Haydu, 2000; Karnok, Xia, & Tucker, 2004; Kostka & Bially, 2005). More recently, studies have documented the role of surfactants in water conservation (Leinauer & Devitt, 2014; Schiavon, Leinauer, Serena, Maier, & Sallenave, 2014; Serena, Sportelli, Sevostianova, Sallenave, & Leinauer, 2018). Another group of chemicals that are marketed to help conserve water are the PGRs.…”
