Applications & Uses

- Applications
- Soil and Turf Wetting : Healthy lawns and soils rely heavily on good moisture levels throughout the layers, so anything that prevents water penetration to the lower layers can be detrimental. Some lawns and soils can become hard and dry during prolong hot and dry conditions and will eventually stop water penetrating to the lower levels. The use of Agrosurf WP35 will help to improve water penetration to the roots and lower levels. It will help to change the balance of the substrate by making it more hydrophilic, which will allow water to penetrate through the upper layers.
- Dew suppression : Suppression of dew is particularly important for golf courses as it helps in two ways. Firstly this practice is used to help improve the playing conditions, but secondly it’s also important from a disease management perspective. Removing dew appears to be a more cost effective disease management control rather than increasing the mowing frequency..
- Additive for water-dispersible granules and wettable powders : The addition of Agrosurf WP35 at small amounts within a powder system can help to increase the wetting performance.
- Timber treatment : It’s important to have a good wetting agent to aid the penetration of the fungicides and biocides into wood.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Wetting Performance Analysis
The wetting performance was measured by comparing the time it takes for a known weight of dried turf and soil to drop in a test solution.
