Wetting agents for turf
Wetting agents, or surfactants, generally lower the surface tention of water and ensure that water is penetrated through the soil. This prevents dry patches to develop in periods of drought, and improves water movement during heavy rainfall.
Wetting agents are an essential part of professional turf management programs as it significantly improves water management and the water uptake of turfgrass and makes it more resilient to drought stress and disease. Hydrophobic (water-repellent) soil doesn’t stand a chance with the use of wetting agents!
ICL offers a range of wetting agents products to gain control over your water management:
- Soil moisture optimizers
- Dew dispersants
- Soil penetrants
- Salt reduction
Benefits of using wetting agents
- Optimizes water use efficiency
- Improves soil and turf moisture retention
- Reduces water stress
- Minimizing water usage and runoff
- Promotes deeper root growth
- Healthier and resilient turfgrass
