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. |
