They reduce water’s surface tension to improve soil and foliage absorption – helping sprays or irrigation penetrate deeper and more evenly.
Yes – wetting agents act as adjuvants (like non-ionic surfactants), enhancing spray coverage and weedkiller efficacy, especially on waxy or hard-to-wet plants.
Yes – they help water stay in the soil, reducing waste and preventing chemical runoff.
Yes – proper wetting agents are turf-safe when used as directed and help improve hydration and nutrient uptake.
Use seasonally during dry or hydrophobic soil conditions, before spraying or planting, or when watering isn’t penetrating.
Yes – improved water distribution helps roots access moisture and nutrients evenly, promoting healthier growth.
