Influxer is a powerful penetrant wetting agent developed for use on amenity grass. It provides effective wetting within the rootzone and can reduce water run-off. Influxer is highly effective at getting water through thatch layers and is good for restoring areas already affected by dry patch. It achieves extremely low surface tensions in water and tests demonstrate an unusually high ability to spread water laterally on a surface. Influxer also has an inherent dew dispersant effect, it demonstrates a significant residence time and can be used as a very effective residual wetter.
Due to its cost effective nature, Influxer is ideal for use on fairways (but may be used on all areas) and sports pitches. Wetting agents help to maximise the availability of rain or irrigation water by ensuring water supply to the whole of the root zone and a more even distribution of water. Fairways without irrigation can still benefit from the use of Influxer by ensuring more even water penetration, reduced run-off from compacted and sloping areas and a quicker uptake of water into the soil following extended periods without rainfall.
