How to Choose a Soil Wetting Agent

Manage soil moisture with soil wetting agents. These soil surfactants help when soil, regardless of rain, drought or irrigation, is not absorbing, draining or retaining water properly. This leads to unhealthy plants, whether a lawn, landscape, golf course or sports field. Soil wetters help with balanced hydration for plant health.

Soil wetting agents help evenly disperse water through soil. Managing moisture in soil is one of the most important factors for plant health.

Penterra is the fastest-acting soil wetting penetrant for balanced plant hydration. It gets water moving through the soil profile quickly. Customers call it the Rain Drain because Penterra prevents puddling and helps water-in rain. Penterra is a highly effective soil penetrant and soil surfactant for addressing hydrophobic conditions.
