eco-hydrate
eco-hydrate is a plant based, biodegradable product that is designed to increase the water use efficiency of potted plants, turf, vegetables and established trees and shrubs. A blend of Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed, fulvic acid, amino acids and Hydretain® (soil humectant & wetting agent) work together to improve root development, heat stress tolerance, more uniform and deeper wetting of soils and growing media and access to soil/media water vapour which can be lost to evaporation. Ideal for horticulturalists to rescue and rejuvenate moisture stressed plants.
- Increases plant water use efficiency
- Reduces plant moisture stress
- Improves water penetration and moisture retention
- Each 20L pack covers 4000m²
Active Ingredients: 270g/L Organic Humectants, 110g/L Organic Soil Surfactants
eco-hydrate is both a water-saving product and water-capturing product. Once diluted with water and added directly to the soil, it absorbs and stores water as microscopic droplets on roots and soil particles. Irrigation, dew, humidity and rain are all condensed and stored by eco-hydrate which gives plants an extra daily drink. The highly effective soil wetting agent in eco-hydrate treats hard to wet or hydrophobic soils and growing media; reducing run-off, improving water penetration and creating a uniform spread of moisture throughout the soil or media.
