Water ManagementWater Management Solutions

Water management can be very difficult in some areas. The two biggest water management concerns are Water penetration and Moisture Retention in the soil. Many areas experience a combination of these problems on the same plot of land. Our products are very effective at achieving water penetration in the most difficult areas. We also have been very successful in developing sandy soils to increase available water and nutrient retention levels.

Soil StructureWater Penetration

Water penetration can be a problem due to a variety of reasons. Insufficient moisture promotes High salt content which destroys soil structure and inhibits the ability of roots to take up water. High sodium levels can bind up the soil and virtually block any water from penetrating the soil, this is especially common in clay soils. Compaction can be a problem in some crops due to the extreme Physical stress on the soil that is caused by Heavy equipment and tillage practices. Compaction reduces pore spaces for air and water and reduces beneficial microbial activity.

Our products are proven to increase water penetration. First, we are able to break the bonds of sodium and magnesium from the clay particles in heavy soils. Second, because of the electric charge of the molecules we are then able to flocculate the clay particles, thereby allowing for increased pore spaces for improved water penetration and aeration. Thirdly, our products stimulate plant root growth which further increases the plant’s ability to access more water and nutrients. As a result, microbial growth is stimulated and this further expands the soil building process, improving the soil’s ability to hold moisture for plant availability.
