Wetter is Not Always Better Benefits Beyond Wetting Agents
Aquatrols
Think wetting agents are only for dry conditions? Think again. Many turf managers think that wetting agents are only useful during dry conditions to reduce water repellency and localized dry spots. Revolution will cause you to think again. Revolution is much more than a wetting agent. It is the only patented, soil surfactant technology that promotes plant health and playability by balancing
air-to-water ratios in the soil under both dry and wet conditions. You can control the amount of water you apply with irrigation when conditions are dry, but what do you do when it rains for three weeks straight? Revolution can help when the rain won’t stop.
Decrease surface moisture in wet conditions Revolution significantly lowers soil moisture levels during excessively wet conditions. Research conducted at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on a putting green at the O.J. Noer Research Facility during a very rainy 2009 showed that plots treated with Revolution had statistically lower soil moisture levels than untreated plots on every sampling date. In addition, plots treated with Revolution also had significantly lower soil moisture levels than plots treated with a common class of surfactant chemistry used in many other wetting agent products on almost every sample date. • •
Less surface moisture for drier, firmer, more uniform playing surfaces.

Increased oxygen levels in the soil during wet conditions for better root respiration.
• Better rootzone environment under all conditions for healthier turf.
