How Does Hydretain Work?A liquid blend of HYGROSCOPIC and HUMECTANT compounds, Hydretain
draws water vapor molecules together forming plant usable
water droplets.
• HYGROSCOPIC: ABSORBING OR ATTRACTING MOISTUREFROM THE AIR.
• HUMECTANT: A SUBSTANCE THAT ABSORBS OR HELPSANOTHER SUBSTANCE RETAIN MOISTURE.

• Subsurface Moisture Vapor (Humidity) is Unavailable to Plant Roots, Just as We Are Unable To Drink the Humidity in the Air Around Us
• By Attracting and Storing Water Vapor Molecules, Hygroscopic Humectants, Create Microscopic Droplets –Similar to Watching Condensation Form on a Cold Glass
• This Process Helps Plants Use Soil Moisture Vapor that Would Otherwise be Unavailable to the Plant and Lost to Evaporation.

The 14th fairway at Banyan had a chronic dry spot problem caused by cap rock with little top soil. The superintendent battled this problem for 15 years
until trying Hydretain. Hydretain solved the problem and with regular treatments, at 3 month intervals, prevented its return.
