For turf, landscape, agriculture and nursery use.
Earthcare Wetter-Aid™ is an effective solution to water repellency which occurs in most soils. Hydrophobia commonly occurs in sandy soils containing organic matter, dry potting soils and fine mulches, heavy thatched turf and in containers with heavy root development. Earthcare has brought together the leading liquid and granular technology to produce Australia’s finest wetting granules in Wetter-Aid™.
Wetter-Aid’s™ granular formulation ensures the product can be easily spread and will continue to make available the active ingredients that decrease the water surface tension thus enhancing the soil’s ability to absorb water.
