FAQS

A: SOIL-JET® is a patented soil surfactant based on polysiloxane that enhances Agricultural, Horticulture, Ornamental, Sports Turf Amenity and Forestry productivity. It benefits Growers, Farmers, Greenkeepers, and Foresters seeking improved yield, crops, turf, efficient nutrient utilisation, and sustainable soil management.

A: SOIL-JET®  enhances penetration and infiltration of irrigation water and rainfall into the soil profile. It also helps to reduce surface evaporation, maintain homogeneous soil moisture in the root zone and optimize plant nutrition.

SOIL-JET®  contributes to better crop health, root weight, fruit quality, and yield. Moreover, it is highly effective even at high temperatures and is environmentally friendly.

A: The ideal time to apply SOIL-JET® is at the beginning of the irrigation cycle, either immediately before rainfall or before sprinkler or pivot irrigation. It can be applied alone with water or together with nutrients in fertigation systems, with a recommended dose rate of 1 L/ha, up to 2 L/ha for certain crops. Additionally, it is advisable to repeat applications with a minimum interval of 10 days, up to 6 times per growing season, irrigating between application cycles as usual.
A: The recommended dosage is 1 – 2 L per hectare for specific crops such as horticultural and ornamental crops, fruit trees, citrus, grapes/vineyards and turfgrass. You can apply it up to 6 times per growing season, with a minimum interval of 10 days between applications. It’s crucial to irrigate between application cycles as usual.
A: SOIL-JET® can be applied either alone with water or together with nutrients in fertigation systems. This means you can mix it with synthetic fertilisers during application to enhance the efficiency of water use and nutrient uptake by plants.
A: Yes, SOIL-JET® can be sprayed during the daytime or on a hot day, but it’s essential to follow safety precautions and recommendations provided on the label.
  • Reduces surface tension, runoff, soil erosion, and nutrient loss.
  • Enhances water/nutrient absorption for improved plant nourishment.
  • Facilitates water penetration and infiltration into the soil profile.
  • Reduces water evaporation, ensuring even distribution in the root zone.
  • Maintains constant humidity, promoting sustained nutrient availability.
  • Prevents water repellence in soils.
  • Dissolves nutrient deposits in irrigation tubes.
  • Increases Soil Volume; provides more space for root growth.

A: SOIL-JET® primarily conditions grass to withstand environmental stresses and should be used alongside proper mineral fertilization practices.

SOIL-JET® can positively impact turfgrass fertilization programs in several ways:

  • Enhanced Water Penetration: SOIL-JET® improves water penetration, ensuring better nutrient delivery to turfgrass roots.
  • Reduced Evaporation: By reducing surface tension and preventing soil repellency to water, SOIL-JET® helps maintain constant soil moisture levels, reducing water loss through evaporation and ensuring consistent nutrient availability.
  • Increased Nutrient Uptake: This enhanced water distribution improves nutrient uptake, maximizing the efficiency of fertilization programs.
  • Enhanced Nutrient Use Efficiency: SOIL-JET® optimizes nutrient use efficiency, promoting healthier turfgrass growth and improved overall quality.

Overall, incorporating SOIL-JET® into turfgrass fertilization programs can help maximize the effectiveness of nutrient applications, leading to healthier, more resilient turf.

A: SOIL-JET® is compatible with various irrigation systems and can be combined with synthetic fertilizers, nutrients in fertigation systems, and beneficial microorganisms applied through irrigation. 
A: SOIL-JET® can be applied with compatible soil conditioners or amendments. For more information, please contact our technical team.
A: Yes, SOIL-JET® can be used with various irrigation systems. It is compatible with various irrigation methods, including drip irrigation, micro-sprinkler systems, and overhead irrigation systems. This versatility allows for its effective application across a wide range of agricultural settings and practices.
A: When using SOIL-JET® in irrigation systems, it’s crucial to prioritize safety and environmental considerations. Wear protective gear to prevent skin and eye contact and ensure adequate ventilation to avoid inhalation. Adhere strictly to recommended dosage rates. Before mixing with other chemicals, conduct compatibility tests to avoid any reactions. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from children and pets, and take measures to prevent spills or runoff into water sources. Lastly, carefully read and follow all instructions provided on the label to ensure safe and effective use of SOIL-JET®.
A: SOIL-JET® is a biodegradable surfactant designed to break down in the environment over time. While the specific timeframe can vary, it typically degrades within weeks to months under typical environmental conditions. However, degradation may take longer in certain circumstances. It’s important to follow recommended application rates and guidelines to minimize environmental impact and ensure effective use of the product.
A: Before winterizing, flush the irrigation system with clean water to remove any remaining solution, preventing residue buildup. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for additional winterization steps to ensure proper storage and handling during colder months.

A:  SOIL-JET® is stable in closed containers for at least 4 years.

SOIL-JET® should be stored in accordance with specific guidelines to maintain its effectiveness and safety. It’s generally recommended to store the product in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Additionally, containers should be tightly closed to prevent spills and contamination.
It’s crucial to keep SOIL-JET®

 out of reach of children and pets, and to avoid storing it near food, or feedstuffs. Always refer to the product label and safety data sheet for detailed storage instructions.
