Hydretain Root Zone
Moisture Manager
Hydretain is a patented technology
for root zone moisture management
that effectively reduces the overall
watering requirements of turf, trees,
shrubs, ornamental plants and agri-
culture by as much as 50 percent or
more.
Not a wetting agent or superabsor-
bent polymer, Hydretain
is unique a blend of hygroscopic
humectants that attract water mol-
ecules to form plant usable water
droplets from soil moisture vapor
that would otherwise be lost to
evaporation. Once applied, Hydretain
forms a sub-surface film which
attracts water molecules (hygroscop-
ic) and store moisture (humectant) as
microscopic droplets on plant roots
and soil particle surfaces.
As soils begin to dry
down, Hydretain
continues to attract
and hold water
molecules from
the humidity within
the soil air space.
This process pro-
vides plants with
additional mois-
ture—reducing
watering require-
ments and protect-
ing plants from
drought stress in
between periods
of rainfall or irriga-
tion. Hydretain is
available in both
liquid and granular
formulations.
