In agriculture and landscaping, various soil-related challenges can significantly impact crop yield and turf health. Water-repellent soils, commonly found in sandy or organic compositions, often become hydrophobic, leading to uneven water infiltration and dry patches. Drought and irregular rainfall exacerbate these issues, making it difficult for soils to retain moisture. Moreover, water is frequently wasted through runoff and evaporation, reducing irrigation efficiency and increasing costs.
Soil compaction from heavy machinery limits air and water access, while nutrient loss occurs due to uneven water movement, leading to poor fertilizer uptake and leaching. Global water scarcity and sustainability demands further pressure industries to adopt efficient water-use technologies. Additionally, climate change increases the risk of dry soils and hydrophobic conditions, especially in professional turf areas like golf courses and sports fields, where consistent moisture is essential.
Our Solution: SOCO Soil Wetting Agents
SOCO® SoilWeta is a cutting-edge composite soil surface activator designed to enhance water infiltration and retention. Utilizing innovative SAP++ technology, SOCO® SoilWeta reduces water surface tension, allowing for better vertical and horizontal moisture distribution in the soil. This advanced formulation can shorten saturation time by 25%–40%, effectively addressing the challenges posed by hydrophobic soils.
Unlike conventional additives, SOCO® SoilWeta penetrates up to 30 cm deep into the soil, forming a hydrophilic film that minimizes moisture loss. It also helps prevent compaction in lightweight soils, making it ideal for agriculture, landscaping, and various light-soil applications.
Product Advantages
Interfacial Tension Regulation: The active ingredients effectively lower water surface tension, enhancing infiltration speed and moisture distribution.
High-Efficiency SAP++ Wetting System: Optimizes the molecular structure and concentration of active ingredients, improving initial water absorption efficiency.
Deep Penetration and Water Retention: Infiltrates deeply to form a protective membrane that reduces water loss and prevents soil compaction.
Application Guidelines
Timing & Method: Applicable year-round via center-pivot irrigation or sprinkler systems directly into the soil.
Main Scenarios: Ideal for lawns, golf courses, nurseries, greenhouses, and local agriculture, especially in sandy or hydrophobic soils.
Special Advice: For boom sprayer applications, consult local technical advisors for proper guidance.
Storage: In storage tanks, add SOCO® SoilWeta to water after filling the tank.
Optimal Conditions: Best results in light sandy soils with organic matter content above 1.5%.
