Hydra Charge - Granular Fertilizer + Surfactant (S4E7)

Hydra Charge is a granular biosolid fertilizer plus surfactant. It has a 4-2-0 NPK Ratio. The interesting thing about this product is, unlike most biosolids I’ve used in the past, it works its way down into the turf canopy and dissolves faster than most. This makes it a great option for those that reel mow. I’ve used some granular products in the past that would sit on the turf for up to two weeks and was continually picked up by the reel mower.

What is a surfactant?

A surfactant is a chemical compound(s) that decrease the surface tension or interfacial tension between two liquids, a liquid and a gas, or a liquid and a solid. Surfactants may function as emulsifiers, wetting agents, detergents, foaming agents, or dispersants .

The Andersons

It is a moderately small prill size so it goes down very well even on the thickest of turfs. It received my “reel” seal of approval.
