Soil Moisture Range

Modern soil wetting agents are characterised by lipophilic (binds to organic oils) and hydrophilic (is attracted to water) activity. This means they bind to organic residues in soil and resist leaching. Then they attract capillary water and hold it for the plant to access for longer after irrigation events.
