about

SOIL WETTING AGENTS


Soil wetting agents are used when soil is not absorbing, draining or retaining water well. Wetting agents evenly disperse water through soil. Managing moisture in soil is one of the most important factors for plant health.

Soil wetting agents are soil surfactants that reduce surface tension. Thus, they help water to penetrate into soil. As this occurs, soil oxygen levels improve and plant nutrient uptake is optimized. Geoponics offers five types of soil wetting agents that each have these as well as other unique benefits.
