SUFFUSION® – Wetting, Penetrating,
re-Wetting Agent for Horticultural Growing Media
HOW DOES SUFFUSION WORK?
• Reduces surface tension of applied water
• Penetrates into dry and water-repellent areas
• Links together water-repellent soil and water
WHERE TO USE SUFFUSION?
• Suffusion can be used on peat, peat mixes,
bark, alternative compost substrates and turf
• It can be used during production of the
growing or directly on the media during the
growing cycle of plant material
HOW TO USE SUFFUSION?
• Incorporate granular or liquid during
production of growing media
• Use liquid as a drench for top watering, basal
irrigation or drip irrigation
• Use through the irrigation or
fertigation system
• Use granules as a top dressing for containers
• As a mist to cuttings

Soil & Media Wetting Agents
Soax ® Wetting Agent
WHEN TO USE?
• Production of quality growing
media
• Production of quality plants
• When wet spots occur
• When uneven drying occurs on
the edge of benches
• If plants are suffering waterrelated
stress
KEY BENEFITS
• Use in greenhouses, nurseries,
outdoor plantings, lawns or
during the making of
growing media
• Can be used on all types of growing media
• Liquid or granular formulations easy to use
• Gives excellent initial wetting and improves
water penetration
• Offers long-term re-wetting (rate dependent)
• Ensures uniform wetting of the growing
media
*
• Helps retention of optimum moisture levels in
the growing media
• Improves drainage, with optimum balance
between water and air spaces
• Uniformity of moisture in the media provides
uniformity of the crop growing area

WITHOUT SOAX ® WITH SOAX ®
• Poor distribution of • Swamp and desert
water and nutrients • Poor drainage
• High spot watering
• Better crop performance
• Eliminate spot watering
• Uniform moisture improve drainage
OASIS ® SOAX ® concentrated wetting agent improves uniformity, quality
and efficiency in crop production. Media is naturally resistant to water,
due to its peat moss content. Uneven wetting and channeling of water
occurs during irrigation when SOAX ® is not utilized. The advanced
technology in SOAX ® results in a potting media that is uniformly moist
when initially irrigated and makes repeated re-wetting of dried media
quick and easy. Water, nutrients, and air-to-water ratios are uniform
through the entire root zone, resulting in the best possible environment
for vigorous growth.
“Feeding” sites of the plant roots are readily available, improving the
efficiency of applied nutrients, resulting in better crop performance.
”Spot“ watering is eliminated, reducing labor costs. SOAX ® wetting
agent helps fresh cuttings return to normal moisture levels faster by
creating a thin film of water that is easily absorbed through the leaves.
For plugs, the small amount of media utilized and the short depth,
demands a uniform media.
• Do not apply to plants in flower.
• Be sure to add SOAX ® liquid into water – do not add water
into SOAX ® liquid

Water & Soil Management
STOCKOSORB® 660 increases
the plant available water holding
capacity, aeration balance and
structure of soils, substrates and
potting mixes. Consequently, water
and nutrients are available to the
plant for a longer period of time,
resulting in stronger and healthier
plant growth even under hot and dry
climatic conditions.
As STOCKOSORB® 660 stores
water in the root zone, water deep
percolation as well as fertilizer
leaching can be prevented. This
allows for a reduction in irrigation
frequency and thus irrigation
costs. As a result of consistent soil
moisture and nutrient availability,
the yield potential of soils and
substrates is maximized.
In addition, watering and
irrigation labor costs are also
reduced, resulting in an even
larger return on your investment.
• Increases water holding
capacity of soils
• Reduces frequency of irrigation
• Prevents leaching of valuable
nutrients, improving plant quality
• Enhances survival rates of new trees
and shrubs
• Allows for plant growth in extremely
hot and dry climatic conditions
• Use at a rate of 2 lbs/cubic yard
• 55 lb bags
