{"product_id":"therm-x-70-natural-wetting-agent","title":"Therm X-70 Natural Wetting Agent","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnytime you spray anything on your plants - foliar feeds or pesticides - you should ALWAYS use a quality wetting agent, ESPECIALLY with Neem Oil products (including Azamaz\/Azatrol). Wetting agents, also known as sticker-spreaders or surfactants, make water \"wetter\". Consider the fact that a plant leaf has a waxy coating, not unlike the surface of a freshly waxed car. What happens when you spray water on a freshly waxed car? The water forms into beads and rolls right off the car, of course! The same thing happens when you spray nutrients and pesticides on your plants. In some cases, the water droplets will actually cling to the leaf surface, but not spread out over it. This is bad for two reasons. First, you have a concentrated dot of food or pesticide on the leaf, which can cause damage as the droplet dries out. Second, instead of spreading out over the leaf surface and covering more area (thus killing more pests or increasing the nutrient absorption in foliar feeeds) the droplet just sits there, covering only a small portion of the leaf. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing pesticides and foliar feeds without a wetting agent is almost like using them at half their normal strength because in many cases, the product you are applying will only work half as good as it would if you had added a wetting agent. And don't just take it from us - every commercial nursery and farm, edible, ornamental or otherwise, uses wetting agents every time they spray. And for good reason!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've tried many wetting agents over the years, even standard dish soap (hey, everyone wants to save a buck, right?) and found Therm X-70 to be hands-down the best product. Not only is it the best wetting agent, it's also 100% organic (OMRI Listed), it's beneficial to the plant, and it's a great value comparted to other wetting agents on the market - it's a no-brainer!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTherm X-7\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e0\u003c\/strong\u003e is a natural wetting agent derived from yucca. It contains 70% concentrated yucca extract, which helps plants overcome adverse water conditions and is a great spreader and sticker for other sprays. Use Therm X-70 to increase your crop's ability to germinate and establish in stressed conditions, as well as increase its water and fertilizer uptake.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrop yields increase!\u003c\/strong\u003e Therm X-70 increases permeability in heavy clay soil, and reduces salt and alkali problems by improving drainage. It also stimulates root growth, extending the area irrigation reaches. When it is applied to a stressed area, there are immediate noticeable results. It will reduce irrigation costs because the crop can go longer between irrigation cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eProtects Crops Against:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat and Water Stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil Compaction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor Water Penetration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalinity and Alkali\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe use of ThermX has been proven to result in:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased water penetration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased fertilizer uptake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased permeability of heavy clay soil with salt and alkali problems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved drainage, reducing salinity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased water intake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased root growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy use ThermX?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrowing conditions are never perfect.
