Make Every Drop Work

Your Irrigation System Is Running. But Is Your Water Doing Anything?

Drought conditions across the United States are a reality that turf professionals manage every season. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, significant portions of the country are experiencing moderate to severe drought at any given time. That number shifts constantly depending on where you are and what the season looks like.

For turf professionals, drought doesn't just mean turning up the irrigation system. They need to rethink how water is used, where it goes, and whether the turf is equipped to handle the stress. The good news is that Heritage Professional Products Group has a lineup of products designed to help you get more out of every drop.
 

Start with the Right Turf

Water conservation starts before the first seed goes in the ground. Heritage selects turf cultivars using our patented Turf Tech Tool, which analyzes NTEP results to identify high-performing, low-input varieties.

Our A-LIST-certified blends (Artimuss, Calyspow, and Posidunn) are proven to be drought-tolerant and designed to deliver superior turf quality while requiring less water, less fertilizer, and fewer pesticide and herbicide applications. That means less input and better results.
 

Make Every Drop Count with Wetting Agents

Even with the right turf in place, dry soils can work against you. When soils become hydrophobic, irrigation water runs off the surface or moves through preferential channels rather than reaching the root zone where it's needed most. Wetting agents address that problem directly.

Aquicare helps water infiltrate hydrophobic soils and re-wet dry root zones. Aquisync then helps that water move laterally through the soil profile, distributing more evenly so limited irrigation reaches more of the root system. Used together, they turn an inefficient watering cycle into one that does its job.
 

Protect What You've Built with CIVITAS TURF DEFENSE™

Healthy turf is more drought-resilient turf. CIVITAS TURF DEFENSE™ is a multifunctional fungicide, insecticide, and plant protection product whose active ingredient forms a protective barrier that prevents pathogens from taking hold and enhances the turf's tolerance to stress.

When you apply it proactively as part of an IPM program, CIVITAS improves overall turf health and has been shown to reduce water use by up to 25% while maintaining healthy, resilient turf. When your turf is protected, it doesn't need as much water to stay in good shape.
 

What This Means For Water Management

Drought conditions change the rules of water management. You don't just apply more water. You make sure every drop works as hard as possible. With the right turf blend, wetting agents, and a proactive plant protection program, you can manage through drought conditions without sacrificing turf quality or breaking your budget.
