PROFILE® Field & Fairway™ is a calcined, non-swelling illite clay designed for construction and renovation of sports fields and golf courses. Incorporated into the root zone, it helps prevent compaction, promotes turf survival under intense traffic, and maintains a permanent balance of air and water pore space to increase drainage and prevent muddy conditions. The particles hold moisture and nutrients and can be applied as a topdressing to aid turf recovery, remove puddles, and dry muddy areas before or after heavy traffic events.
