SOAK-N-WET for Soil Wetting and Water Retention
Product Description
SOAK-N-WET for Soil Wetting and Water Retention features a non-ionic soil wetting agent and a water-retaining polymer, making it suitable for a range of applications including broadacre farming, horticulture, viticulture, orchards, and turf.
It enhances water infiltration, reduces runoff, and improves soil moisture retention. These benefits result in increased soil moisture contact with planted seeds, leading to more even and higher germination rates, particularly in small-seed crops like canola. Consistent germination simplifies crop management decisions and can improve the efficiency of pesticide, herbicide, and fungicide use, as well as harvest operations.
Fast-acting, long-lasting, and biodegradable, SOAK-N-WET minimises water runoff and wastage, making it an environmentally friendly choice for optimising plant health and water usage.
Features and benefits of SOAK-N-WET
Preserves Moisture
SOAK-N-WET ensures that moisture stays right where it’s needed, helping seeds germinate faster and more evenly across the paddock.
Reduces Water Loss
By retaining water in the seed and root zone, SOAK-N-WET minimises evaporation, keeping moisture around the seed after germination.
Enhances Soil Wetting
SOAK-N-WET improves the wetting of soil, activating microbiology and increasing nutrient availability for crops to help every seed access the moisture and nutrients it needs for robust growth.
Boosts Crop Establishment
Even germination across the paddock leads to healthier, more uniform crops, making it easier for farmers to optimise early herbicide and nutrition treatments.
Suitable for
• Use in broadacre, horticulture, viticulture, orchard and turf
• In furrow at seeding application
Usage Guide
In-furrow applications at planting SOAK-N-WET can be used via direct injection allowing increased moisture retention around the planted seed to increase germination evenness and root development.
Applied at seeding, rate for SOAK-N-WET is 2 to 4L/ha diluted in 40 – 100L/Ha of water.
For all other uses ie; horticulture, viticulture, orchards and turf see label for details
Handy Usage Tips
• SOAK-N-WET is a viscous product that requires dilution with clear water prior to use.
• Dilute slowly into water (do not exceed a ratio of 1:1) ensuring the product is well agitated to mix thoroughly.
• Before tank mixing with other products conduct a jar test to ensure compatibility.
Storing product out of direct sunlight in a cool area is recommended.
