Drought could be this year’s danger zone!
Danger zones for the summer months can be highlighted as: increased wear from play pressure, drought stress, water shortage, shallow rooting, photo and heat scorch and specific summer diseases
Despite the heavy storms and rains of recent years, coming months. The pressure on water reserves areas. Best use of valuable water must be made. Excess wear during the main playing period is
