Turfgrass
Silicon & Turfgrass
Researchers such as Datnoff have successfully demonstrated that silicon helps plants to overcome various types of stresses and even plays a role in protecting plants from certain pests and diseases. Silicon’s beneficial effects on growth, development, yield, and disease resistance have been observed in turfgrass.
