Eucarol AGEs Wetting Agents for Plant Growth Media
Mineral soils, peat moss,
wood-based substrates,
coir fibers, and other
forms of soilless media
naturally resist uniform
hydration at low moisture
contents. This behavior
causes several agronomic
and economic challenges:
Eucarol AGEs
can be highly
effective at
delivering water
into the root
zone of crops
growing in
difficult-to-wet
plant growth
media.
(patent pending)
Surfactants are commonly applied to ornamental potting
mixes to improve hydration and maintain the proper air-
to-water balance to support plant growth and
development.
• Increased run-off
• Increased leaching
• Reduced resource efficiency
• Reduced yield and profits
*2g of coir (10% moisture content) was placed on the surface of surfactant solutions (50mL, 3000mgL-1
). The
time required to completely hydrate the media was recorded in seconds. Products were evaluated at equivalent
active matter. Shorter wetting times are more favorable.
