SURF-MAX
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
- When planting in light-sandy, sandy-loam, or hydrophobic soils

Today we commemorate one of the most important dates in history, D-Day. In 1944, the fate of the world literally depended on the success of this amphibious invasion. The bravery of our soldiers abroad – and the perseverance of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers in the factories at home – were paramount to our ultimate victory.
How Dry Conditions Drive #Plant25 Decisions
There’s an old saying in farming: “Plant in dust, your bins will bust”. The premise is that dry soils will encourage faster, deeper root growth early in the season, which will lead to more robust root systems and stronger plants throughout the growing season. Conversely, crops planted in ideal moisture conditions may become lazy and their roots remain shallow, causing potential problems later in the season when summer heat and dry conditions often arise. If that old adage is true, then Midwest farmers would be looking at a bumper crop in 2025. Then again, there’s dry, then there’s very dry.
