Abzorb is a excellent wetting agent derived from surfactants with a very low environmental impact. Abzorb assists the rapid penetration of water in dry areas for medium to long term re-wetting. This fast acting wetting agent attaches itself to the waxes and lipids left by fungal spores on soil and sand particles which in turn attracts water molecules allowing hydrophobic areas to be re-wet. Abzorb contains a blend of soil penetrating surfactants, that help to re-wet dry areas of turf affected by dry patches and fairy ring.
Wetting agents are substances that lowers the surface tension of a liquid, therefore improving the liquid's penetrating and spreading qualities. They are primarily used as a preventative and curative method against dry patch (patches of brown, dying grass amongst otherwise healthy lawn) and are most effective when used monthly from spring onwards as this will mean the maximum amount of wetting agent will be present during the dry months of summer.
Using Abzorb on grazing pasture: Abzorb needs to be irrigated in or have rainfall after application as it needs to be in the soil, not in the grass leaf. If it is applied during rainfall, the area can be grazed with a few hours. If it is not, then we are unable to advise how long it will take before it can be grazed.
When using, part fill the spray tank with clean water, add the required amount of Abzorb, agitate and then add the remainder of the water.
Recommended application rate for Greens and Tees: 20L/ha in 300-600L water.
Recommended application rate for fairways and sports fields: 10L/ha in 600-800L water.
