Understanding The Different Wetting Agent Chemistries
Wetting Agent : Any compound that causes a liquid to spread more easily across or pene- trate into the surface of a solid by reducing the surface tension of the liquid. Today s golf course superintendent has a dizzying array of Wetting Agent products available to purchase. As a general class of turf care products, Wetting agents are one of the more frequently used on golf courses. Com- mon sense would suggest that not every surfactant or Wetting Agent is the same. Ironically, all of our turf care fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides are organized into their own classifica-tions, , the DMI fungicides, the strobilurins, the phosphites, etc. Wouldn t it be nice if we could also group Wetting agents and surfactants into the appropriate category of the Different Chemistries from which they are derived? That is the purpose of this article.
Jul 20, 2012 · 1. Anionic and Blends with Anionics. Anionic wetting agents are negatively charged surfactants. They can offer fast wetting but, depending upon application rate, can be phytotoxic to turf. Because of their negative ionic charge, anionics can cause dispersion of clay particles, which can negatively impact soil structure in fine-textured native ...
