As we dive deeper into utilizing wetting agents, you may have questions about what specific wetting agents we offer here at Harrell's, as well as what benefits you can get from each product. This article will serve as a guide to our wetting agent products and how each of them can help to deliver moisture, promote health, increase root biomass, deliver prescribed playability, and so much more. Let's get started with our newest wetting agent offering, SurfaceRx™.

SurfaceRx™ for Prescribed Playability

Harrell's HydroMAX® SurfaceRx is a novel, patent-pending wetting agent technology with an innovative osmoprotecting technology. SurfaceRx improves surface playability by enhancing moisture infiltration, penetration and distribution while maintaining turf color, quality, consistency, and health during dry-down periods.

Fleet® 100 Wetting Agent for High Rainfall

Fleet 100 is a soil wetting agent designed to penetrate the soil and promote uniform moisture distribution throughout the soil profile. Fleet100 is often utilized during periods of high rainfall potential to minimize excessive soil volumetric water content and promote surface firmness.

Symphony® Wetting Agent for Low Rainfall

Symphony is a soil wetting agent utilized when maximum soil hydration is desired in the root zone. Symphony is often used during periods of low rainfall and/or elevated temperatures. Symphony is used in combination with penetrating wetting agents to moderate the effects of powerful soil penetrating wetting agents like Fleet® 100.

Hydro-90® Wetting Agent Without Excess Moisture

Hydro-90 is a 100% active, multi-use wetting agent designed to promote soil hydration without retaining excessive soil moisture. The unique Hydro-90 formulation results in a rate-dependent, long-lasting effect, often making Hydro-90 desirable for use on tees, fairways, and roughs. Application rates can vary from one to three gallons per acre or more, depending on the desired longevity.

Hydro-Cure® Wetting Agent for Rapid Hydration

Hydro-Cure helps promote rapid hydration and recovery of soil in water-repellant conditions. The Hydro-Cure formulation allows for maximum application use flexibility and frequency.

Hydro-Inject® Wetting Agent Through Irrigation System

Hydro-Inject is a soil-penetrating formulation designed for injection through the irrigation system. The easy-to-use formulation is ideal when irrigation injection is desired at rates as low as one quart/acre/month. Hydro-Inject can also be applied frequently using ground spray equipment at rates of 1oz/1000 sq ft weekly, biweekly, or monthly in conjunction with plant nutrients, PGRs, and other plant health components.

RootMAX Pellets Wetting Agent for Hand Watering

RootMAX pellets are ideal for use when localized dry spots or plant wilt are observed and hand watering is implemented. RootMAX pellets help alleviate soil water repellency and deliver seaweed extract to promote plant health needed for recovery associated with plant stress.

SuperMAX Pellets Wetting Agent for Wet Wells

SuperMAX pellets are 100%, eight-pound wetting pellets designed for use in irrigation wet wells. SuperMAX pellets deposited into irrigation wet wells completely solubilize during nightly irrigation events, resulting in wetting agent distribution throughout the irrigated area. In general, use rates of one to two pellets are used with 500,000 gallons of irrigation water, and two to four pellets are utilized with up to 1,000,000 gallons of water.
