Soil wetting agents are the solution, quite literally, to your hydrophobia problem. They act as a detergent to this waxy, impenetrable coating that surrounds your soil particles. Breaking down the waxy coating, soil wetters allow the water to reach your plants' roots, ensuring it gets the goodness that it needs.
1.Improves water penetration in all soils.
2.Retains moisture at the root zone and reduces drying of soil.
3.Maximises nutrient uptake.
4.Increases watering efficiency and minimises run-off and water wastage
5.Contains liquid composts which improve and condition the soil.
TIS-359 are surfactants that reduce the surface tension of water and help it spread over soil particles and into the soil. Penetrants also help water drain through the soil and can encourage leaching of water and nutrients. Some penetrants have been designed to breakdown quicker to reduce the leaching risk.
Properties of soil wetting agent
Soil wetting agents have combinations of chemicals which can help water enter and be retained in water repellent soils.
