- How Does it Work?
The characteristics of water and the presence of hardened and unreceptive soils can make it difficult for water to reach existing plant life. Applying H2OExcel helps soils absorb water more quickly and efficiently. H2OExcel is helping the world in conserving nature’s most valuable resource - water.
- Benefits
- 30-50% less water used on lawns, landscaping, gardens and crops.
- Less fertilizer needed due to the plant’s ability to absorb water, oxygen and nutrients more efficiently.
- Lower cost to maintain lawns, landscaping, gardens, crops, golf fairways and greens.
- Reduced crop failure.
- Increased plant strength.
- H2OExcel™ product ingredients are on the GRAS list (Generally Recognized as Safe) which is approved by both FDA and AAFCO.
- Product Highlights
H2OExcel enables soils to absorb water faster and deeper than normal by reducing surface tension of both respectively. This puts water in the root zone where it is more readily absorbed and nutrients are made soluble for increased uptake to the plant. Once H2OExcel infiltrates the soil it will not harm any plants and is not toxic to any animal, making it ideal to use anytime and everywhere. H2OExcel also serves to increase biological activity around the root zone making more nutrients available. H2OExcel promotes water efficiency, in turn making water more available, especially during times of stress. The performance of H2OExcel is second to none as it does not have the limitations of the typical polymer and silicone competitors and is not limited by exposure restrictions. H2OExcel can lead to water-use reductions of up to 50%, thereby reducing dependence on water and leading to a cost savings for all who take advantage of its unique formula.
- Features
- Less water used on lawns, landscaping, gardens and crops.
- Minimal fertilizer needed due to the plant’s ability to absorb water.
- Increased plant strength as they soak up water more freely.
- Lower cost to maintain lawns, landscaping, gardens or crops.
- Reduced crop failure.
- Product Attributes
H2OExcel is all of the following in one product:
- Biologicals (living organisms)
- Humates
- Fulvics
- Surfactants
- Natural sugars
- Vitamins and minerals
This unique chemistry is put together to support a dynamic shift in the way modern farming practices have been conducted and brings to the grower the following benefits: water and input reductions, healthier soils, reduced disease pressure and increased yields.
- Main Attributes of H2OExcel
Water Management
The essence of H2OExcel is its ability to manage water. H2OExcel is very effective at how water is managed and utilized in the soil profile and the root zone. It has the ability to infiltrate effectively through different soil types and reach farther and deeper into the soil profile, making water better managed and more usable.
Saponins
Saponins is a cell found in enormous numbers in desert plants. They resemble dish sponges and have high water-storage capacity and continually share that water with the plants as needed. This component in H2OExcel is critical to making water-use more efficient so crops can endure long periods of drought, which is critical in reducing the need for irrigation.
Biological Growth and Activity
H2OExcel contains aerobic bacteria and fungi that is very important to delivering beneficial nutrition that the plant needs for success. H2OExcel brings the biologicals along to populate more of the root zone; deeper in the soil profile.
Capillarity Pressure
If you were to insert a straw in a can of soda, what happens? It pops up. This is capillarity pressure; the difference in the pressure of the air in the straw and the gas in the liquid. H2OExcel reduces this pressure, meaning water molecules are able to infiltrate through the soil and get through multiple, different layers and soil types.
Humates for Soil Conditioning
Think of this feature as tiny little lockers in the ground that have the ability to store plant-available minerals and nutrients. As the plant’s needs change, there will always be stores of nutrients available. H2OExcel brings this feature for optimum performance and yield.

- Directions for Use
- Mix H2OExcel in water and apply as a spray or soil-drench as listed below. Spray mixture or use injection/irrigation system on plants, crops, or turf. Even on dried, caked and hardened soil, water is absorbed quickly without run-off. Repeat application process each time watering is required.
- Do not use this product in the concentrated form. H2OExcel is tank-mix compatible with fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and mixes easily in cold water and stays in solution.
