To overcome water repellency, maximise water utilisation and maintain turf health.

WETTING AGENTS FOR OPTIMUM TURF MANAGEMENT

SPECIAL PURPOSE PRODUCTS

Santich Park WA 2012

Before After

BI-AGRA WATER CONSERVATION AID• Application to free draining profiles assists in water retention• Can reduce irrigation requirement by half• Beneficial in marginal water allocation areas • Improves root zone moisture management

In situations where water is lost due to run-off, evaporation, or rapid drainage, application of BI-AGRA can improve utilization and reduce usage of water. Moisture content can be increased by up to 5x in the root zone at field capacity. Can last up to 6 months.

BREAKTHRU GOLD – SPOT CURATIVE AND DEW RETARDANT

RESTORE

RESTORE GRANULES

Premium turf wetting agent for difficult to wet situations.

Strongest wetting agent for use in broadacre situations provides curative action for dry patch and rewetting under irrigation. Excellent treatment for fairways, parks etc.

Economical wetting agent developed for direct injection irrigation. Faster entry of water through the turf thatch zone and soil surface. Reduces water loss from pooling or run-off. Suitable for well draining well maintained surfaces.

Spot treatment application for problem areas. Highly penetrating – restores water infiltration to water repellent areas. Pre-treatment to soil wetting program. Dew retardant.

Highly effective general purpose wetting agent suitable for most situations, or for sensitive turf varieties.

For use when application of granules is preferred over boom spray. Longlasting treatment – infiltrates turf under rain or irrigation.

Selection Criteria:• Improved penetration is required

Aquaforce combines a highly penetrating function to break through the water repellant barrier with retention ability to absorb onto the soil particles. This provides a water attracting surface to assist water to easily pass through the turf profile. Water utilisation and retention is improved and long lasting performance is achieved.

The strongest wetting agent for large broadacre areas applied by injection irrigation or boomspray. Broadwet has a highly penetrating characteristic which immediately improves water infiltration to provide a quick green-up and improved turf appearance. Ideal where curative action is required for dry patch.

INJECTAFORCE is designed for easy regular incorporation with irrigation water to provide consistent dilute application of wetting agent to turf surfaces. This enables a uniform draining surface for most turf surfaces.

In situations that do not respond to conventional wetting agent treatments, BREAKTHRU GOLD is applied by spot treatments to problem areas. The exceptional surface tension reduction achieved overcomes the most severe water repellent situations to restore turf health and vigor. Pretreatment with BREAKTHRU GOLD before implementation of soil wetter program will establish uniform water and nutrient availability to the turf.

Application before an important sporting event can retard dew formation.

When ease of application is important, spray volume is limited, and general improvement in turf vigor is required RESTORE provides a safe economical solution.

Ease of application and no requirement to water-in make RESTORE GRANULES an excellent option for use in large broadacre areas such as fairways and surrounds, ovals, parks and gardens.
