H2Flo

The ultimate helping hand with your irrigation

Save water and time, with H2Flo®: this special blend of soil surfactants simply helps irrigation water go further. Here’s the technical bit: it reduces water’s surface tension, improving its ability to move both vertically and laterally. Your substrate and soil will become saturated faster thanks to our unique, state-of-the-art water conservation technology: its active ingredients are more concentrated than in any other wetting agents available. You’ll see less runoff, especially initially, and its effect isn’t limited to the surface – it goes through the substrate to be absorbed better. It also prevents water repellent deposits from hardening. In trials we found that irrigation amounts were reduced by up to 25%, especially in light soils: ideal for water conservation. H2Flo can be applied year-round by drop centre-pivot and overhead irrigation. best performance is achieved in light sandy soils containing >1.5% organic matter.

  • Save up to 25% on irrigation water without a reduction in yield

  • Can be used in conjunction with fertilisers

  • Readily absorbed by all types of growing media, specially substrates

  • Is effective through the soil and substrate and not just at the surface

  • Excellent water penetration and improved horizontal and vertical water movement

  • Flexible application programmes and flexible water rates

* the monthly applications can be split according to current irrigation schedule. For example, if fertilisers are applied once per week, H2Flo might be applied at the same time, at 0.3 l/ha. ** for recommended concentrations refer to the stock solution tank Trail first on a small scale before changing the rate, or any other variables, As circumstances can differ and the application of our products is beyond our control, ICL cannot be held responsible for any adverse results.

1
You can apply H2Flo all year round, by drip, center pivot, and overhead irrigation.
2
You can use it as an initial humectant as well as during the normal irrigation cycle to boost the movement of fertilizers throughout the soil and balance EC levels.
3
If applied via a boom sprayer please consult your local ICL adviser or dealer.
4
When using stock solution tanks, fill them up and add H2Flo afterwards.
5
Performs best in light, sandy soils, preferably containing >1.5% organic matter.
