Soaker Plus is a proprietary blend of biodegradable nonionic polyol surfactants designed especially for the treatment of LDS (localized dry spot), wet spots, and other water concerns in turf management. Soaker Plus is designed to be safe for applications to new or existing turf and improves the uniform movement of water into the root zone of soils. Furthermore, the unique formulation of Soaker Plus is not harmful to animals when used as recommended. Soaker Plus can be safely applied in the spring and summer, even when environmental factors may impact turf quality. It can be applied prior to the activation of irrigation systems.
