Wetting Agents
A wetting agent defined by The Free Dictionary is: a substance that reduces the surface tension of a liquid, causing the liquid to spread across or penetrate more easily the surface of a solid. From that meaning one can come to the conclusion that wetting agents are different in their characteristics being a penetrate or spreader or a combination of both.
A more in depth look at wetting agents reveal wetting agents are made up of different chemistry. Anionic or blends of Anionic, Nonionic, Polyoxyethylene, Block Co-polymer, Alkyl Polyglucoside and Modified Methyl Capped Block Co-Polymer surfactants are the names of the chemistry of wetting agents. Here is an article which explains the different chemistry of wetting agents. Most manufactures make different wetting agents from these chemistry and Enp is no exception.
Below is a list of the different wetting agents Turf Trade offers through EnP. Please click the links below to find more information and labels on these wetting agents.
_
 | - Matador is a safe non-ionic wetting agent, based on innovative block polymer technology designed to establish and maintain a consistent moisture level in the root zone.
- Matador works by attaching to hydrophobic coatings found in certain soil profiles reducing water repellency.
- Matador is safe to use on all types of turf throughout the growing season.

 | - Command is a proprietary formulation that reduces soil surface tension, allowing water and nutrients to reach the root zone.
- Command contains an organic acid that helps deal with bicarbonate issues that can create poor water infiltration.
- Command is ideal for irrigation injection and is cost effective.

 | - All Natural is a non-ionic soil wetting agent, derived from naturally occurring saponins found in coconut oil.
- All Natural can also be used in tank-mix combinations of fertilizers, fungicides and herbicides to improve the action of the chemicals. It is safe to use with bio-stimulants.
- All Natural can be used on any area that has a water infiltration problems.

 | - Turf Tabs are a proprietary blend of polymeric surfactants, containing amino acids and mycorrhizae designed to increase water infiltration while reducing turf stress caused by adverse environmental factors.
- One Turf Tab will cover approximately 18,000 to 24,000 square feet of turf. Severity of localized dry spot, water temperature, water pressure and application technique may cause coverage to vary.
- Turf Tabs will fit in all major commercial hose end applicators.
