Using Wetting Agents on Hydrophobic Soil

About This Video

If you've ever watched water "standing" on turf instead of being taken into the soil, you've seen what's called a hydrophobic soil condition.

This video shows the effect that wetting agents have on a hydrophobic soil profile, and how they can help your turf take in that water so it becomes available.

Check out the Harrell's YouTube Channel for more videos on a variety of topics relevant to the turf, horticulture and specialty agriculture industries.
