Description
A unique combination surfactant to both prevent and cure hydrophobic soil. HydroSmart NG optimises soil moisture to maximise plant health and turf performance. Available in liquid, granular and hose-end pellets.
- A high quality new generation wetting agent containing both penetrant and multi block co-polymer technology to cure and prevent localised dry patch issues.
- By maintaining correct moisture balance in the soil, plant health is maximised and results in strong healthy turf resilient to stress and disease.
- Gives an improved air to water ratio to maximise oxygen supply to the soil, increase rooting and soil microbiological activity leading to enhanced thatch breakdown and reduced plant stress.
- Extremely safe non-phytotoxic formulation due to its high quality molecular construction which will not damage plant cells.
- HydroSmart NG is proven in scientific trials to reduce irrigation requirements compared to competitor products

Monthly programme of optimizing soil moisture and minimizing dry patch. | Apply monthly at 5-15 l/ha depending on dry patch severity at individual sites. Apply first application early in the season before any drought stress occurs for maximum benefit. |
Re-wetting hydrophobic soil to eliminate dry patch and increase grass health. | Apply 20l/ha initially to re-wet the soil and then drop back to 10-15l/ha while the possibility of drought stress remains. Always begin a programmed approach early in the season on problem soils. |
Maintaining correct soil moisture on hard-to-spray areas (bunker banks, etc.) or where no sprayer is available. | Apply Hydro-Smart Granular at 30g/m2 when there is adequate soil moisture before drought stress appears (March/April). Re-apply 3 months later to maintain correct soil moisture balance. (June/July). |
