OARS HS
OARS HS, soil hydrating surfactant with an organic acid redistribution system, is a combination of the university researched, field proven, and patented organic acid redistribution system, OARS, and multi-branched hydrating chemistry. OARS HS controls soil water repellency while providing uniform soil moisture and increased soil moisture retention.
A multi-branched hydrating soil surfactant, OARS HS has many unique features, including: the ability to increase the number of hydrating sites; it loosens and redistributes humic coatings from hydrophobic soil particles, and it remains active longer in the soil.
Among its many benefits, OARS HS...
- Removes humic coatings from hydrophobic soil particles
- Controls water repellency
- Hydrates the soil to improve moisture retention
- Reduces drought stress
- Consistent performance between applications to maintain adequate moisture in hard to wet soils
A liquid product, recommended application is 4-5 ounces per 1,000 ft2 (13-16 L per hectare) every 30 days. After an initial 5-ounce (16 L) application, drought conditions can be best managed by applying 2-2.5 ounces per 1,000 ft2 (6-8 L per hectare) every 15 days.
For extreme drought conditions with high temperatures and/or increased soil water repellency, apply 6-8 ounces per 1,000 ft2 (20-25 L per hectare) every 30 days.
