Fighting Drought and Watering Restrictions? NOW is the Time to Level the Playing Field!
Both gravity and evaporation are constantly working against you pulling moisture out of the reach of roots as it returns to the aquifer and atmosphere. These two forces combine to create the potential for total moisture loss in the soil matrix when rainfall is scarce. Left unchecked this damage can cause wilting, browning and loss of leaves, flowers, and other delicate plant structures.

By the time these drought stresses become evident, much of the plants internal processes have already begun to shut down as it enters into a survival mode. It is during this time the plant becomes susceptible to opportunistic disease and pests.

Chronically dry soils can become hydrophobic (moisture-resistant).
Watering soil in this condition is wasteful as the water tends to run away through voids in the soil matrix resulting in poor soil absorption. Consequently this moisture offers little real benefit to plants and can result in surface brown spots.

As drought conditions get worse, roots stop growing when they encounter dry soil. Delicate root hairs begin to shrink, desiccate and die, leading to even more severe stresses and symptoms above the surface. Overwatering to compensate can lead to fungus, algae and rot which can be equally damaging.

Moisture Manager captures and retains water vapor coming in contact with the roots forming countless reservoirs that will prove vital to plant survival when moisture levels drop out of reach of the root zone.

This helps to prolong a plant’s healthy internal processes and reduces or even eliminates drought stresses that lead to disease and pests.

Persisting through multiple waters, the cycle of vapor capture and droplet formation repeats, ensuring that your turf and plants have vital and uninterrupted supply of moisture. The film also travels with roots and they grow. As plants respond to changing moisture levels, they will benefit from Moisture Manager’s lasting effects. Soil treated with Moisture Manager uses newly available water more effectively than soil in a more hydrophobic state. Instead of channeling it away, the soil permits distribution of available water, suspending it in the soul matrix and making it available to your plants roots.
