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.
