Essentials Wetting Agent

In foliar feeding: The use of Essentials Non Ionic Wetting Agent is vital for foliar feeding to reduce the surface tension of water. It is necessary to ensure the adhesion of droplets on difficult to wet leaves as well as assisting with the absorption of the nutrient solution into the plant tissue.

In soil rehydrating: When hydrophobic (dry) soils are watered, the water simply rolls off and is not absorbed. If water cannot readily penetrate and wet the soil, the availability of moisture to plants is reduced, decreasing the germination rate of seeds, the emergence of seedling, and the survival and productivity of crop plants. Lack of sufficient water in the soil also reduces the availability of essential nutrients to plants, further limiting growth and productivity. Essentials Non Ionic Wetting Agent will help to overcome the effects of waxy organic coatings on the surface of the soil and the surface of organic matter so allowing the water to penetrate and be absorbed.
