Wets - Rehydrates - Retains• Assists moisture penetration in non - wetting

hydrophobic soils.• Rehydrates after extended dry periods.• Retains moisture and mobile nutrients

in the plant root zone.

Bi-Agra Band is a new generation soil treatment developed for broadacre use. Bi-Agra Band’s unique bi-active formulation provides outstanding wetting ensuring uniformity of seed germination, maximising moisture availability ensuring good early vigour.

Unlike traditional soil wetting agents, Bi-Agra Band will rehydrate non – wetting soils after an extended dry period, giving growers the confidence to sow early or dry.

Bi-Agra Band retains moisture and nutrients in the plant root zone, whilst improved moisture and nutrient efficiencies result in stronger plant growth and crop yields.

Bi-Agra Band is highly beneficial in:

• Soils with poor water holding capacity• Water repellent hydrophobic soils• Sandy soils, sandy gravels
