Plant NutritionWetting Agents
Wetting agents and in particular Scotts' Hydraflo® wetting agents maximise water use and has several tangible benefits:
- Increase plant and turf uniformity
- Improved plant growth and performance
- Improved efficiency of water use
- Improved performance of fertilisers and pesticides
- Water logging prevented
- Reduces hand watering requirements on hot spots
- Provides an even wetting front through the soil profile
Scotts’ extensive research and product development has demonstrated the advantage of the use of a quality wetting agent in pot plant production.
Hydaflo is a grade A wetting agent giving extended and optimal performance. Available in liquid for in field use through irrigation systems or granular for easy incorporation or top dressing.
Hydraflo 2 Soil Wetting Agent has proved itself in trials to be superior to other available wetting agents on the market. Not only does it wet soil profiles and potting media more uniformly, it holds moisture more efficiently and for longer without decreasing air-filled porosity.
Such a high quality wetting agent allows plants to access water, nutrients and oxygen in the best possible way to ensure fast and effective establishment and to promote their longevity.
In addition, easy-to-apply granular Hydraflo 2 and its
liquid form Hydraflo L can contribute greatly to landscape
management and amenity horticulture, by promoting
efficient use of water and nutrients to maintain good plant health.

Case Study
Are plants our saviour?
The important role of plants in their contribution to carbon reduction is now recognized as the climate change debate gains heat.
The recognition of the role of tree planting in contributing to the earth’s health has now taken on a new urgency.
There is now strong support in communities for taking a more proactive role in planting. In a recent article, Glenn Fenton of the Tree and Shrub Growers of Victoria argued strongly that trees and shrubs planted in urban areas can contribute up to four times as much to the reduction of greenhouse emissions than their actual carbon storage.
