S4 E48 Can Surfactants Harm Turfgrass?

Can surfactants harm turfgrass roots and reduce plant growth? This video examines the science from “Effects of Nonionic Surfactants on Monocots” by R. M. Endo, J. Letey, N. Valoras, and J. F. Osborn (1969), published in Agronomy Journal, exploring what this classic research actually found about wetting agents, surfactant phytotoxicity, root growth, root hairs, shoot growth, and the important differences between surfactant effects in solution and soil.
