TRANSFORMER

Biodegradable water use optimizer

Improved water infiltration that leads to more effective water use, increased availability of nutrients and uptake
Reduces hydrophobicity and improves water retention through better water distribution in sandy soils
Improves water infiltration in heavy soils
Better lateral water distribution in soil and drainage that are prone to waterlogging
More uniform soil moisture and less fluctuation between irrigation cycles when using drip irrigation

TRANSFORMER® is a soil wetting aid and soil penetrant that conditions soil by improving water infiltration, to overcome physical soil limitations and thereby enhancing water use and irrigation efficiency.

OROWET Technology  APE/NPE Free

Features & Benefits

  • Soil wetting aid and penetrant with OROWET®
  • Soil conditioner to improve penetration and distribution of water in soils with physical limitations like compaction, crusting, hydrophobicity.
  • Enhances overall soil health by improving moisture and conditions for root development.
  • Improves water infiltration in hard pans and crusted or heavy soils.
  • Promotes better hydraulic conductivity and improved lateral movement of water.

Mode of Action

  • Improves water infiltration into the soil, reducing run-off and waste of water and applied nutrients, nematicides, or other soil applied pesticides.
  • Remediates physical soil limitations such as surface compaction or hard pans that are limiting water movement and hence restricting root growth.
  • Improves moisture retention in light soils
  • Promotes more even distribution (less variation) of moisture in drip irrigation, especially in light soils.
  • Effective to clean irrigation lines with continuous use.

Added Value

  • APE/NPE free
  • Reduces run-off and waste of irrigation water and soil-applied pesticides (like nematicides) and nutrients
  • Promotes re-wetting with routine irrigation and rain events.
  • Improves easily available water, reducing impact of drought periods.
  • Improves condition of soil for better root development and microbial populations
  • Reduces potential groundwater contamination.
  • Improves efficiency of water use in various irrigation systems.

General Information

As soil wetting aid and soil penetrant, TRANSFORMER®

  • Increases water penetration
  • Improves water distribution

Recommended Rates

Agriculture
  • Use 1 pint to 1 gallon per acre.
Fairways, Lawns and Greens
  • Use 1 pint to 1 gallon per acre.

For improved water penetration, after pre-irrigation/leaching, TRANSFORMER can be applied through irrigation equipment.

Canada (English)

General Information

As soil and water conditioner TRANSFORMER:

  • Improves lateral distribution of water
  • Accelerates water infiltration rate
  • Reduces water erosion or runoff by accelerating infiltration
  • Improves irrigation efficiency
Application Timing

For best results, apply TRANSFORMER, before imminent rain or irrigation, prior to root flush periods or at planting of row crops. Early spring applications are most effective.

Recommended Rates

For best results, use the lower rate for shallow rooted crops and the higher rate for deep rooted crops or extreme conditions.

Through drip systems

Apply 1 to 10 litres per hectare (1 pint to 1 gallon per acre).

With conventional sprays or non-drip irrigation systems (such as micro-sprinkler and overhead irrigation systems)
  • On 1/3 area coverage, use 2.5 to 5 litres per hectare (1 to 2 quarts per acre).
  • On 2/3 area coverage, use 2.5 to 7.5 litres per hectare (1 to 3 quarts per acre).
  • On full area coverage, use 2.5 to 10 litres per hectare (1 to 4 quarts per acre).
At transplant

Apply 25-50 ml per tree in transplant water.

For in-furrow treatment during planting

Apply 1 to 5 litres per hectare (1 pint to 2 quarts per acre).

For dry soil treatment after planting

Apply by boom sprays at 1 to 10 litres per hectare (1 to 4 quarts per acre). Test first for phyto if applied at a concentration greater than 0.15%. For best results, apply when rain or irrigation is imminent.

Informations Générales

TRANSFORMER est un conditionneur du sol et de l’eau pour:

  • Améliorer la répartition horizontale de l’eau
  • Accélèrer la vitesse d’infiltration de l’eau
  • Réduire l’érosion hydrique ou la perte par ruissellement en accélérant l’infiltration
  • Améliorer l’efficacité de l’irrigation
Période d’application

Pour obtenir les meilleurs résultats, appliquer TRANSFORMER juste avant une pluie ou une séance d’irrigation, avant la période de croissance racinaire ou lors de la plantation en ligne. Les applications au début du printemps offrent une efficacité optimale.

Dosage

Pour obtenir les meilleurs résultats, utiliser des dosages faibles pour les cultures à racines peu-profondes, et des dosages forts pour les cultures à racines-profondes ou dans des conditions extrêmes.

Avec des systèmes de goutte à goutte

Appliquez 1 à 10 litres par hectare (1 pinte à 1 gallon par acre)

Avec les pulvérisateurs conventionnels ou les systèmes d’irrigation autres que goutte à goutte

Tels que les sprinklers et les systèmes d’arrosage par aspersion

  • sur 1/3 de la superficie, utiliser 2,5 à 5 litres par hectare (1 à 2 litres par acre).
  • sur 2/3 superficie, utiliser 2,5 à 7,5 litres par hectare (1 à 3 litres par acre).
  • sur toute la superficie, utiliser 2,5 à 10 litres par hectare (1 à 4 litres par acre).
Pour le bouturage

Pour la transplantation: Verser 25 à 50 ml par arbre dans l’eau utilisée pour la transplantation.

Pour dans le traitement de sillon pendant la plantation

Appliquer 1 à 5 litres par hectare (1 pinte à 2 litres par acre).

Pour le traitement de sol sec après plantation

Appliquer avec un pulvérisateur pour grandes cultures (boom sprayer) 1 à 10 litres par hectare (1 à 4 litres par acre). Si la concentration est supérieure à 0.15%, il est recommandé de faire un test préliminaire pour vérifier la phytotoxicité sur la culture, avant l’application définitive sur la parcelle à traiter. Les meilleurs résultats seront obtenus avec une application juste avant une pluie ou un arrosage.
