Especially during times of drought, getting the most out of every drop of water is critical. Soil surfactants provide an opportunity to reduce water runoff and keep water and nutrients in the root zone longer.

Soil surfactants assist with better use of water in soil and plants. This optimization of water usage can lead to significant savings. Plus, using less water is good for the environment. Surfactants help water by penetrating clay soils, increasing moisture in dry soils, draining waterlogged soil, and increasing soil oxygen in hydric soils. Is this all too good to be true? Join us on Wednesday to find out.

During this webinar, you will learn:

  1. What a soil surfactant is.
  2. How surfactants work.
  3. What type of soil they work best with.
  4. How they save water.
  5. How to apply surfactants.
  6. How quickly are results seen.
  7. The total cost of surfactants.

 

We also provide opportunities to win free surfactant products during this webinar with your questions.
