This proprietary blend of soil surfactant technology is designed
to be used as a preventative. It will provide uniform re-wetting
and the ideal water to air ratio in the rootzone to prevent dry
patch and hydrophobic soils.
The added Biostimulants will help the plant cope with increased
stress resistance and root boosting stimulation.

stress relief management tool
- Blend of soil surfactants chain lengths to increase the
longevity and the cumulative treatment effect
- Uniform wetting of the rootzone to provide the perfect balance
of water to air ratio
- Creates a firmer playing surface with less moisture held in the
thatch layer
- Longer lasting effective treatment
- Triple action surfactant formulation, preventative, curative
and water conservation properties
- Treatment of dry patch, water repellency and associated
symptoms
- Contains L-form amino acids for increased stress resistance and
improved seed germination
- Ideal for links courses as amino acids will help the plant cope
with salinity problems
- Contains RSi (Root Stimulant and Improver) biostimulant to
increase vigour, root depth and root length
- Increased rate of photosynthesis
- Safe and beneficial to soil microbes
- Penetrant technology keeps the upper playing surface firm,
whilst maintaining uniform re-wetting of the rootzone
- Dew dispersal post application
Surfactant Technology
Vision Hydroguard surfactant formulation provides preventative,
curative and water conservation propertiesin any rootzone
type.
Vision Hydroguard contains a specific blend of wetting agent
technologies, these include spreading and penetrating agents to
allow water to evenly spread and treat the most hydrophobic
rootzone, this action ensures the product is distributed uniformly
within the soil profile and will provide the correct consistent
moisture to air ratio in the rootzone.
The penetration ability of Hydroguard ensures the product enters
the rootzone efficiently and does not bind itself strongly to the
organic matter in the top of the thatch layer like other surfactant
chemistries. This in turn creates a firmer playing surface with
less moisture held in the thatch layer.
The blend of premium concentrated surfactants has been designed
to be applied on a monthly basis; the chemistry forms strong
lasting bonds with hydrophobic soil or sand
particles ensuring the area remains receptive to water in the
future.
The spreading and penetrant agents are combined with an innovative
residual wetting agent, which corrects water management issues
within the rootzone enabling a
longer period of water conservation by retaining moisture through
prolonged drought periods.
The three surfactants combined also achieve total water management
by Increasing water efficiency ensuring water is deeply penetrated
into the rootzone, reducing surface run off and therefore less
evaporation of applied water.
Hydroguard contains a range of high molecular mass chemistries
that are resistant to being flushed out of the rootzone by
irrigation water, which enables the chemistry to perform more
consistently over a longer period. This ensures correct water
management within the rootzone enabling a longer period of water
conservation and stress reduction on the turfgrass.
Biostimulants (RSi)
RSi biostimulant contains L-Form amino acids, the addition of
L amino acids allows the plant to save energy during periods of
stress and can function as normal.
Energy is not diverted to other areas ensuring a healthier plant.
By applying early in the season, it is possible to precondition the
plant prior to any stress and it will allow the plant to work more
effectively at lower temperatures.
The amino acids help increase chlorophyll concentration in the
plant leading to an increased level of photosynthesis; amino acids
also help the leaf stomata function more efficiently reducing
transpiration and plant water loss.
This makes Hydroguard Ideal for links courses, as the amino
acids work within the plant to improve water and nutrient uptake by
balancing osmotic potential, minimizing the impact of stress caused
by high EC environments.
The unique biostimulant within Hydroguard also contains a systemic
blend of simple carbohydrates and natural trace elements, this
results in significant increase in root
length and root hair development, which greatly increases the root
mass. A greater root mass greatly increases the area available for
absorption of water and other materials.
In addition, turf uses its roots as a reservoir to store water for
its own use, if you can increase the plants rootmass (water
reservoir) the plant has the ability to hold and store more water,
which is vital during periods of drought. This leads to a more
drought resilient plant, by increasing rootmass the plant is able
to absorb greater quantities of nutrients and this leads to a
stronger stress resistant plant.
