Description:

Drought Defense is a combination of 7 ingredients blended to impart a multifunctional role to its use.  The ingredients work synergistically to treat the water in which it is dissolved to apply it, the soil that it will enter, and the water it will capture while in the soil pore spaces.  Drought Defense is a wetting agent/soil conditioner/soil water holder used for:

  • Eliminating Dry Spots
  • Saving Water and Money
  • Increasing Water Efficiency
  • Reducing Drought Stress
  • Improving Poorly Irrigated Areas
  • "Holding" Water on Slopes and Hillsides

Benefits of Drought Defense

1.  The application of Drought Defense just before an irrigation will carry the product into the soil and deposit it in the soil pore spaces.  The presence of surfactants and penetrants in the product helps liquid water move through small cracks and fissures in the soil and helps to position Drought Defense in the soil.  Once the water movement stops it is only a short time before it begins to evaporate.

2. The significance of the water conserving ingredients gives Drought Defense its name.  The presence of humectants in Drought Defense prevent much of this water evaporation from occurring deeper in the soil where the roots are located.

3.  As roots use the captured water Drought Defense yields the water to the root systems.

4.  Longer periods of time can go between irrigation events.

5.  Shorter irrigation system run times can be used.

Other Observable Benefits of Drought Defense

1.  Obvious moist soil surface for 3 to 4 days after an irrigation or rain event, which helps groundcovers with creeping stolons (bermudagrass, ivy, etc.) cover bare ground better.

2.  Maintains subsurface moisture levels at optimum for up to one week during summer and up to 3 weeks during winter.

3.  As water is reapplied to a landscape area, the Drought Defense formula materials are rehydrated and recreate their water capturing abilities.

Drought Defense Safety:

There are no toxic materials in Drought Defense.  It is safe to expose people and pets right after a treatment of Drought Defense.

How Long Will a Treatment Last?

Soil microorganisms decompose Drought Defense over a 30 day period and it should be reapplied if needed after that amount of time for best results.
