Qingdao SOCO New Material Co.,Ltd.

1. Water Stress and Water-Saving Agricultural Policies

Growing water scarcity and stricter water‑use regulations make efficient irrigation essential. Drought and uneven rainfall reduce soil moisture, while runoff and evaporation waste large amounts of water, pushing adoption of technologies that improve infiltration and retention.

2. Commercialization of Lawn, Golf, and Landscape Maintenance

Expanding turf and landscape industries need reliable moisture control to keep grass healthy under limited water conditions. Soil compaction and uneven infiltration increase maintenance difficulty, encouraging wider use of soil wetting agents.

3. Expansion of Greenhouse and Protected Agriculture

Greenhouse farming relies on precise water and nutrient management. Water‑repellent soils and nutrient loss from leaching limit yield, creating demand for solutions that ensure even wetting and root-zone efficiency.

4. Intensification of Drought and Soil Dehydration from Climate Change

Rising temperatures and frequent droughts make soils drier and harder to rewet, increasing hydrophobicity and water stress. Climate‑resilient moisture‑control technologies are vital to maintain productivity and protect soil health.

Our Solution: SOCO® Soil Wetting Agent

SOCO® soil wetting agent is a composite soil surface activator designed to precisely regulate the physical properties of the soil–water interface and improve water infiltration in the soil. Its active ingredients reduce water surface tension, overcoming the resistance between soil and water to enhance both vertical infiltration and horizontal distribution of moisture.

With the innovative SAP++ technology, it can shorten the substrate/soil saturation time by 25%–40%.

Unlike conventional additives, SOCO® soil wetting agent penetrates as deep as 30 cm into the soil with irrigation water, forming a hydrophilic film that reduces moisture loss.

It also helps prevent compaction in lightweight soils, achieving both rapid penetration and strong moisture retention—making it ideal for agriculture, landscaping, and other light-soil applications.
