Dew Removal

Removing surface moisture is an important maintenance activity, especially in the early morning on golf or bowling greens. The primary turfculture aim is to reduce the conditions for disease attack and spread. Several methods can be used, including use of:
• A Switch.
• A Drag-brush.
• A Dew brush.
• A Leaf or debris blower.
• An irrigation system. Turning on pop-ups just for a very short period for a quick sprinkle of the green can help dislodge dew from the grass leaves.
• A prior application of a wetting agent to reduce dew retention on leaves.
