Retain Pro Wetter – Xtreme Soil Moisture Retention

Retain Pro Wetter is a proprietary blend of surfactants that are designed for the effective management of soil moisture to maximise retention and infiltration.

Retain Pro is a leading-edge soil-wetting agent designed to break the surface tension of water and evenly distribute water throughout the root zone.  Soil-wetting agents attract water to the soil surface and help it soak in.  Retain Pro helps you use water more effectively and efficiently, particularly during the hot temperatures of summer.

Retain Pro interacts with soil molecules to reduce leaching and holds water in the root zone.

Retain Pro Wetter effectively manages hydrophobic soil.  Hydrophobic soil repels water and causes it to collect on the soil surface rather than infiltrate into the ground.  Hydrophobic soils can be created from dryness (drought), plant and other chemicals making them impervious to water.  Soil also becomes hydrophobic when organic matter decomposes, leaving a waxy coating on the soil particles.  Hydrophobic soils cause water to run off or pool at the surface rather than being absorbed, which can cause serious problems for your lawn.  It is a common problem in sandy or older soils, and can also affect soils that haven’t been watered or fertilised regularly.

The soil is likely hydrophobic if water is poured onto the turf and pools or doesn’t soak up quickly.  Wetting agents like Retain Pro Wetter can be used regularly on lawns to solve the problem of hydrophobic soil.  The use of Retain Pro Wetter is an excellent way to prepare lawn/turf for the hot temperatures of summer, helping ensure that the water applied is used effectively by the soil.

Why choose Retain Pro Wetter:

  • Retains moisture for better control and drought prevention.
  • Promotes uniform moisture distribution.
  • Amends hydrophobic soils.
  • Combats wilt symptoms

Directions Of Use

Rate Of Application:

  • Under conditions that require extended moisture maintenance, such as very high percolation sands and hydrophobic soils, early-season high-rate applications are recommended.
  • Two applications of 20-30 L/ha (200mL-300mL per 10L per 100m2), spaced 7-10 days apart, are recommended and will generally relieve hydrophobic localized dry spots for 3-6 months.
  • Under other conditions, applications of 10-20 L/ha (100mL – 200mL per 10L per 100m2) every 3-8 weeks will decrease soil desiccation.

Application:

  • Retain Pro should be used in accordance with weather and soil conditions to maintain adequate soil moisture.
  • All applications should be immediately watered in sufficiently to move material into the rootzone.
