Benefits of Use:
- Use up to 25% less irrigation water while attaining better water movement through the soil, more effectively providing moisture and delivering water-carried nutrients.
- Due to the complexed Micro Carbon Technology®, the benefits of carbon are carried directly through the soil to the root zone, enabling plants to more effectively absorb nutrients.
- Surf-Max® is fully biodegradable, non-hazardous, non-phytotoxic, and highly compatible with existing chemistries.
- Great for growers of strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, melons, cotton, potatoes fruit trees, olives, lettuce, carrots, blueberries, etc.
Deficiency Symptoms—When to Apply:
- Wherever drought conditions or water restrictions are present; when water conservation is important
