Improve Crop Establishment With SOAK-N-WET

Hot, dry summers can wreak havoc on crop establishment, significantly reducing yields and profits despite hard work and effort. To tackle these challenges, VICCHEM’s SOAK-N-WET delivers soil wetting and water retention solution.

SOAK-N-WET combines a non-ionic soil wetting agent with a water-retaining polymer, designed to enhance water infiltration, reduce runoff, and improve soil moisture retention. This increased soil moisture contact helps optimize germination, particularly for small-seed crops like canola, leading to more even and higher germination rates. Consistent germination simplifies crop management decisions and enhances the effectiveness of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, while also supporting more efficient harvest operations.

In 12 independent trials conducted by agronomy groups from 2020 to 2024 across Western Australia, SOAK-N-WET demonstrated excellent performance, leading to more uniform crop development when applied at planting. The product has proven particularly effective in increasing canola establishment, contributing to improved crop outcomes.
