Water$ave
Water is one of the world's most precious resources and nowhere is this more true than in Australia, the driest continent on the planet.
Modern agriculture consumes almost two thirds of the waters pumped worldwide. For this reason more and more people are seeking ways to conserve it.
WaterSave is a water retainer that, when incorporated into a soil or a substrate, absorbs and retains large quantities of water and nutrients. Unlike most products that become hydrated, Water$ave has the property of easily releasing the absorbed water and nutrients, thereby allowing the plant to have water and nutrients available at will as a function of the absorption – release cycles.
Application
ARBORCULTURE
Water$ave is effective in the planting of trees, bushes, and samplings. It makes it possible to reduce the mortality rate due to transplanting shock and to enhance root development and therefore bring about more rapd growth and production.
FOR THE GARDEN OR POT
- Remove ? of existing potting mix or dig a hole about three times the volume of the root system.
- Add 2 teaspoons of Water$ave for every kg/ltr of soil or potting mix.
- Mix Water$ave evenly through the potting mix/soil you intend to use.
- Place the root ball of the plant at the bottom of the hole and fill in the hole with the treated soil. Make sure that the product is distributed evenly around the roots.
- Be especially careful not to put too much unmixed dry product at the bottom of the hole. After hydration, the product would destabilize the plant.
- Approx 2 teaspoons of Water$ave will abosrb 1ltr of water or ½ ltr of liquid fertilizer.
Adding WaterSave without removing existing potting mix
- Make a hole down either side of the existing pot plant and down towards the root zone(ie use long screwdriver or long digging tool).
- Add a total of 2 teaspoons of WateSave, evenly distributed between the holes down to the root area.
- Cover the holes up with soil and water well. Water$ave will absorb approx.1ltr of water or ½ ltr of liquid fertilizer.
LAWNS AND SOD
Water retainers are very easily used throughout the growth cycle of lawns and sod. They ensure good germination, faster root development, and regular and even growth of lawns. The rooting sod is also faster. They are widely used in landscaping for gold courses and grass in parks and gardens.
- Work, break up, and level the soil to be planted with grass.
- Spread Water$ave on the surface of the soil. Water$ave can be broadcast or applied with a fertilizer spreader for a more even distribution.
- Work Water$ave into the soil to a maximum depth of 1-cm. This can be done by hand with a spade or mechanically with a disk plow or a rototiller.
- Seed the lawn or lay the sod. Roll the soil to compact it.
- Use fertilizers if needed.
- Water$ave can be applied very lightly over the top of existing lawns and watered well to encourage the WaterSave crystals to work their way to the root zone of the grass for best results.
HYDROSEEDING
Water$ave is commonly used in hydroseeding to stabilize newly graded soils. Mixed with or without cellulose mulch, it makes it possible to maintain a minimum of surface water which permits rapid sprouting of seedlings even in dry areas. The vegetation cover develops uniformly and rapidly over the whole treated surface. There are no dry spots without grass.
The other advantage of Water$ave is that it prevents cellulose mulch from becoming hardpan during a dry spell. The mulch remains aerated and allows the seeds to sprout quickly. Water$ave also makes it possible to reduce the amount of mulch.
- Water$ave must be added last to the hydroseeder tank, after the other components: seeds fertilizers, mulch, etc.
- Stir at least 15 minutes before spreading.
BARE ROOT DIPPING
Water$ave can be used for root dipping in order to prevent the desiccation of the roots of seedlings during transplanting or transport over a long distance.
The dressing is prepared as follows.
- Mix 1 kg of Water$ave in 150 – 200 litres of water. Amounts vary depending on the salinity of the water.
- Slowly pour in the product while stirring the water to obtain a dressing without dumping of particles.
- Let the dressing stand for 15min, the time needed for Water$ave to reach its maximum absorption. It is important to obtain a dressing that will adhere completely to the roots. The longer the maturation time, the thicker the dressing will be and the better it will adhere to the roots.
- A water-soluble nematocide and/or fungicide may also be added to the preparation to protect plants against nematode and fungal attacks.
