Magazine - Water saving wetting agent from Headland

Headland launch TRICURE AD (Aqua Dynamics), their new, advanced successor to TriCure wetting agent.

Designed for increased effectiveness in preventing and controlling hydrophobic conditions and dry patch, TRICURE AD combines improved soil treatment capabilities with additional soil surface dry-down characteristics for a faster return to play in adverse conditions.

TRICURE AD's multi molecular structure means that it has the unique ability to treat all soil particles, including sand, peat and organic matter, and university studies have shown that hydrophobic soil treated with the product requires as little as 1/3rd as much water to reach optimum moisture levels for grass growth. This means that the use of TRICURE AD can have both water conservation and cost-saving benefits.

Improved dry-down capabilities mean that following applications, the soil drains more quickly, moving water away from the surface, which allows a faster return to play following excessive rainfall or irrigation.

TRICURE AD is both preventative and curative, preventing drought effects and providing a cure for localised dry spots. Compatible with Headland's Turfcomplex bio-stimulant, the product can be tank mixed to provide a combined treatment that helps maintain soil moisture levels as well as reducing turf stress.

TRICURE AD is available as a liquid, pellets or granules.
