As a Curative Directions for use: Apply at 2-3 litres per hectare (2-3 grams per square meter) never exceeding a solution strength of 1%. Allow to stand for 30 minutes then �ush through thoroughly with irrigation water. When used on localised hydrophobic areas a strong �ush using hand watering will be most effective. Discussion: Surfactants of the appropriate hydrophilic-lipophilic (water loving-oil loving) balance can emulsify hydrophobic material in the same way fatty or oily deposits are loosened with washing up liquid. To push the resultant material out of the root zone, suf�cient mechanical action is required. The mechanical action is provided by the As a Penetrant: Directions for use: Apply at 1-2 litres per hectare (1-2 grams per square meter) never exceeding a solution strength of 1%. This will aid adsorption of water into the soil for up to 2 weeks. Applications should not be made more frequently than every two weeks or at higher concentrations. Discussion: GBR Intensive Wetter contains a relatively low molecular weight surfactant with high water solubility and the ability to lower surface tension quickly and effectively. This aids the �ow of water through the soil pro�le and beyond giving what is often termed a ‘penetrant’ effect. Highly concentrated product means low use rates, cost effectiveness, less packaging and storage space required.
