A simple demonstration of increased soil flocculation when applying "UltraSoil Penetrator". The bottle on the right has 3ml of Penetrator, the bottle on left has none. The first picture shows flocculation after 30 seconds and the second picture after 30 minutes.

Benefits

Soil clay particles can be unattached to one another (dispersed) or clumped together (Flocculated) in aggregates.

Soil aggregates are attached clusters of fine particles i.e. sand, silt and clay.

Flocculation is important because water moves mostly in large pores between aggregates. It is also important to remember that plant roots grow, not in the soil but in the spaces between the soil. Fine soil particles can plug the pores and impede the movement of water and nutrients. This can cause anaerobic / waterlogged soil conditions and impede plant growth.

Be aware of the quality of your irrigation water. The quality of irrigation water will affect aggregate stability, ie water with high levels of sodium can destabilize soil. If this is the case "UltraSoil Penetrator", "UltraSoil Sports Rebound", "UltraSoil Bloom n Green" and "UltraSoil Retain" soil improvers can help you manage your soil structure.

Observe your soil

If water infiltrates slowly through your soil, or if rainwater infiltrates more slowly than irrigation water, UltraSoil soil improvers can help.

UltraSoil products, improve your soil structure, speedily remove surface water, improver plant nutrition and ensure the plant roots can move freely throughout the soil profile. Using UltraSoil products can help achieve uniform growth with deep root penetration and dramatically increase soil flocculation. This can reduce costs by maximising the uptake of nutrients / fertilisers and water.
