TRANSFORMER is able to lower the surface tension of water. When applied to soil, this results in improvents of key soil hydraulic properties; such as infiltration, drainage, hydraulic conductivity, soil water retention and hydrophobicity.

By improving these soil properties the applied water is available to the plant and is not lost through run-off, channelling or uneven wetting of the soil profile.

The application of TRANSFORMER allows water to even infiltrate the micro-pores of compacted layers. Thereby the penetration resistance of the compact layer is alleviated, and this will allow root growth. An increase of the root system and especially feeder roots, entails more uptake of water and nutrients. As the soil conditions are improved by TRANSFORMER, the performance of soil applied products is optimized.

Application

In loam or sandy soils:

  • Apply 5-10 l/ha of TRANSFORMER.
  • Start to moisten the soil with water only during the first 25 % of the irrigation process.
  • Inject 5-10 litres/ha during the following 50 % of the irrigation process, in order to improve its distribution.
  • End the irrigation process with water only to ensure that TRANSFORMER will be adequately washed into the soil.

In heavy soils or when there is a superficial crust:

  • Follow the same sequence as in the preceding paragraph with a rate of 10-15 litres/ha at 5 litres/ha applications every 15 days.
  • The dilution rate should not exceed more than 1 litre of TRANSFORMER per 1000 litre of water (concentration ≤ 0,1 %).
