Surfactant Technology: PBS150

A long-term surfactant, PBS150 addresses the source of performance loss – biodegradation of the surfactant molecule by soil microbes.


PBS150 is a long-term surfactant utilizing a unique polyfunctional branched molecular structure to address the source of performance loss – biodegradation of the surfactant molecule by soil microbes. PBS150 sustains a longer uniform soil moisture profile.

PBS150, available in both liquid and granular forms, has proven it will reduce hydrophobic conditions on a sustainable basis for 5 months or more; encourages a pattern of hydration and re-hydration that improves the amount of available water in the soil profile to meet the metabolic demands of the plant; restores the uniform movement of water into and through the soil matrix; promotes improvement in turfgrass quality, color, and uniformity; as well as improve stress tolerance.

Liquid application

Greens and Tees
Apply three applications 30 days apart of 5 ounces per 1,000 ft2 (16 L per hectare). Reapply after 120 to 150 days, or as needed, if climatic conditions still exist for the formation of water repellency conditions.

Fairways, Bunker Faces, Collars, and Roughs
Apply two applications 7 to 10 days apart of 8 ounces per 1,000 ft2 (25 L per hectare). Reapply after 120 to 150 days, or as needed, if climatic conditions still exist for the formation of water repellency conditions.

Granular application

Greens and Tees
Apply three applications 30 days apart of 2.5 lbs per 1000 ft2 (120 kg per hectare). Reapply after 120 to 150 days, or as needed, if climatic conditions still exist for the formation of water repellency conditions.

Fairways, Bunker Faces, Collars, and Roughs
Single Application: (60 to 75 days active)

Apply 4 lbs per 1000 ft2 (200 kg per hectare). Reapply after 75 days, or as needed, if climatic conditions still exist for the formation of water repellency conditions.

Split Application: (90 to 150 days active)
Apply two applications 7 to 10 days apart of 4 lbs per 1000 ft2 (200 kg per hectare). Reapply after 150 days, or as needed, if climatic conditions still exist for the formation of water repellency conditions.
