H2Flo
H2FLo - Water management & conservation
ICL has developed a range of wetting agents ( H2Flo ) for use in agriculture, horticulture, and professional turf. The products optimize plant quality, allow better water availability in the root zone, and help conserve precious water resources.
Agriculture is by far, the largest consumer of the Earth’s available freshwater.
When a soil or substrate dries out or becomes water-repellent, it can be challenging to raise moisture levels back up to optimum levels. Water no longer easily infiltrates the soil, leading to runoff and loss of irrigation and (water-soluble) nutrients. Growers may need to water more frequently or use more irrigation water.
Wetting and water conservation agents are blends of surfactants that reduce the surface tension of irrigation water. This allows water to penetrate dried out or hydrophobic soils and improves water distribution in the soil.
In early 2020, ICL Specialty Fertilizers’ Water Conservation Agent product, H2Flo, received a silver ranking in the annual LAMMA Innovation Awards, in the Arable Innovation category. The LAMMA Innovation Awards recognize and give exposure to some of the best advances in agricultural manufacturing.
