Thatch Layer

Thatch layer refers to the layer of dead and living plant material, including roots, stems, and shoots, that accumulates between the soil surface and the green, actively growing turfgrass. A small amount of thatch can be beneficial by providing insulation and protection, but excessive thatch can restrict water, air, and nutrient movement, leading to turf problems. Thatch management is essential to maintain a healthy turf system.
