We sprayed ENDURANT in mid-March (2011) as part of our preparation for a tournament we hosted earlier this spring. We were very pleased with the sprayability of the product and the stunning contrast the application provided. Perhaps most notable was the growth response we saw from the turf as a result of the enhanced canopy temperatures. We are at least 2 to 3 weeks ahead of our normal greenup and growth pattern, the effect was superior to an early season fertilizer application. I feel confident we will paint fairways next winter with ENDURANT.

Geoponics SoilSurfactant.com was developed for turf managers, landscape professionals, lawn care and agriculture as a domain for quick reference to leading brands of Professional Grade Soil Surfactants, Penetrants and Wetting Agents to manage localized dry spots, drought relief, aggregate clay soils, drain waterlogged soils, aeration, manage soil moisture, reduce black layer, increase foliar absorption and assist with reducing fertilizer run off, pesticides and fungicides.
Effective moisture management has always been a critical part of any turfgrass maintenance professional’s success. Whether you want to hold water in dry times or need to move it when it’s wet, the desired result is always the same: even distribution of moisture throughout the root zone. Achieving this balanced state is an ongoing challenge, but without the proper tools it is a practical impossibility. Geoponics believes that the price of the surfactants used in this pursuit should not preclude anyone from being able to use them, which is why our cost per acre is so far below the industry average. Our customers’ savings are often used for treating more area than ever before, making our products like Penterra, HydraHawk, Humawet and Profasorb found at SoilSurfactant.com value-adding tools no chemical room should be without.
Penterra is a high grade soil penetrant designed to move irrigation and rain water off the surface and deep into the ground. As with any wetting agent, Penterra decreases the surface tension between water, soil and plant to overcome hydrophobic soil conditions. Where this proprietary formula sets itself apart from the other surfactants on the market today is in its extraordinarily high activity (Anionic vs. Non-Ionic). By surrounding soil particles with a strong negative charge, Penterra literally pulls water down and through the profile with unrivaled speed and effectiveness. This allows the turfgrass manager to prevent an excess of accumulation from heavy or long lasting rain events, as well as to quickly and easily wet areas like slopes and mounds which often develop LDS and require a disproportionately large amount of water.
Penterra’s beneficial effects are noticed rapidly, in many cases after a single application. It helps reduce crusting, loosens up hard clay soils, aggregates sandy soil, and allows water and oxygen to better reach plant roots. Regular treatments improve the activity of microbes necessary for a healthy soil environment for the improvement of the turf, making it healthier and increasing its disease and insect tolerance.
Reported Uses of Penterra
• Affordably treat entire course • Dew reduction for earlier starts • Treat slow draining bunkers • Enhances speed of glyphosate • Protect against frost damage • Prepare greens for heavy rain • Dry out problem wet areas • Open sealed-off soils
All Natural is key when one considers how products influence the environment and using HydraHawk as a tool for moisture management in soils is taking the industry by storm. HydraHawk is made from all natural materials being derived from fruits, vegetables and essential oils. Secondary to its formulation, HydraHawk is mositly used for penetration into areas are challenged by hydrophobic variables, yet subtle enough to add some holding capacity with the root zone. It is widely considered “nature’s powerhouse moisture management product” amongst the Geoponics surfactant line being that it keeps water penetrating into the soil while holding viable water in the root zone for sustainability. When challenged with moisture issues and the environment is top of your priority list of things to consider and moisture management performance is key, HydraHawk is the product for the job.
Reported Uses HydraHawk
• Economical for use in Tees, Greens, Fairways and Roughs • All Natural • Treat slow draining bunkers • Enhances speed of glyphosate and foliar fertilizer applications • Prepare greens for heavy rain • Dry out problem wet areas • Open sealed-off soils • Pleasant smell natural smell • Holds enough water in the root zone without disrupting aerobic balance • Provides a natural food source for soil microorganisms
Humawet.com
Humawet (Humawet.com)
Humawet is a unique soil surfactant with incorporated high-grade humates designed to enhance water holding capacity. By prolonging the retention of moisture within the root zone, this formulation allows turfgrass managers to reduce irrigation volume and hand watering when faced with hot, dry or excessively windy situations. Its beneficial effects when used to combat LDS are noticed rapidly, and when used as a preventative measure it can keep such unsightly issues from developing in the first place. Especially helpful when used on sandy soils or those low in organic content, Humawet is both easy to use and economical.
Reported Uses of Humawet
• Affordably treat entire course • Holds moisture in the root zone • Assist with drought conditions • Will not burn • Contains high grade humate • Open sealed-off soils
Profasorb is a unique soil surfactant designed specifically to enhance water holding capacity when used through irrigation systems. By prolonging the retention of moisture within the root zone, this formulation allows turfgrass managers to reduce irrigation volume and hand watering when faced with hot, dry or excessively windy situations. Its beneficial effects when used to combat LDS are noticed rapidly, and when used as a preventative measure it can keep such unsightly issues from developing in the first place. Especially helpful when used on sandy soils or those low in organic content, Profasorb is both easy to use and economical.
Reported Uses of ProfaSorb
• Affordably treat entire course • Holds moisture in the root zone • Assist with drought conditions • Will not burn • Economical for use through Fertigation • Open sealed-off soils
I am a hobby gardener that keeps a small backyard patch with everything from lettuce to potatoes. After learning about Carbotein, I was pleased to have the chance to experiment with a truly environmentally friendly, natural fertilizer. I selected heirloom tomato plants for the test, and potted them in separate containers. The test plant received a root drench of Carbotein, and the control was not treated with anything other than the fertilizer in the potting soil, which I used for both. The plants received normal waterings.
During the time of growth, the infused plant was more compact, greener and fuller than the untreated plant which grew taller and had fewer buds. Unfortunately, in the middle of the trial I had to unexpectedly leave town, and when I returned home discovered the plants had been neglected almost to the point of no return. Without much hope, I began watering them regularly again, and lo and behold the one treated with <a href=”http://www.carbotein.com”>Carbotein</a> (which I now call The Wonder Plant) recovered quicker and more completely than the other plant which has almost no regrowth. Since then I’ve been lucky enough to get the opportunity to eat them before having to go on location for work again. Compared to the control plant, the root drenched tomatoes were redder, juicier and more tasty, and there were bunches more of them!
I am so very happy with the product, and will continue to use it. In fact, I have already infused my newly tilled beds with Carbotein, and I’m excited to see what it will do for my summer plantings.
