Water
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.
Water 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.
