Golf and sports turf, football pitch

Golf courses are among the most high-maintenance green spaces of all. A uniformly dense, resilient and visually immaculate turf is crucial for the quality of play and places high demands on maintenance and management.

Water requirements play a central role here – and vary greatly depending on the location and conditions. Studies show that the average water consumption of a golf course is around 36,000 m³ per year. At the same time, the range is enormous: it extends from around 2,000 m³ to over 100,000 m³ per year. (see BOKU Vienna – Water management golf courses, 2019)

But it is not only golf courses that face this challenge. Other intensively used sports areas such as soccer pitches, training facilities or public green spaces also require continuous maintenance and irrigation to ensure their long-term function and quality.

Rising temperatures, longer periods of drought and increasing utilization pressure are further exacerbating this trend – and making efficient water management ever more important.

Polysorb offers a cost-effective and sustainable solution for the maintenance of intensively used lawns. The water-retaining granulate can absorb more than 300 times its own weight in water, store it in the root area and release it again as required. This improves water availability, supports root development and promotes even, resilient growth of the turf.

Thanks to its high storage capacity, Polysorb+ also creates more stable conditions in dry phases. The lawn remains vital for longer, regenerates faster and is more resistant to heat and intensive use.

By using Polysorb+, operators can reduce water consumption, extend irrigation intervals and reduce maintenance costs. At the same time, the optimized use of water helps to reduce operating costs and manage areas more sustainably.
