About H2OExcel

Natural H2OExcel™ offers more benefits to soil, crops and turf than just water conservation!

Water management and the need to find the perfect balance of soil health is crucial to today’s growers and turf specialists. The dynamic that puts this all together is Brookside Agra’s natural H2OExcel. Made in the U.S.A.

H2OExcel™ is all of the following in one product:

• Biologicals (living organisms)
• Humates
• Fulvics
• Surfactants
• Natural sugars
• Vitamins and minerals

This unique chemistry is put together to support a dynamic shift in the way modern farming practices have been conducted and brings to the grower the following benefits: water and input reductions, healthier soils, reduced disease pressure and increased yields.

MAIN ATTRIBUTES OF H2OExcel™:

• Water Management – The essence of H2OExcel™ is its ability to manage water. H2OExcel™ is very effective at how water is managed and utilized in the soil profile and the root zone. It has the ability to infiltrate effectively through different soil types and reach farther and deeper into the soil profile, making water better managed and more usable.
• Capillarity Pressure – If you were to insert a straw in a can of soda, what happens? It pops up. This is capillarity pressure; the difference in the pressure of the air in the straw and the gas in the liquid. H2OExcel™ reduces this pressure, meaning water molecules are able to infiltrate through the soil and get through multiple, different layers and soil types.
• Biological Growth and Activity – H2OExcel™ contains aerobic bacteria and fungi that is very important to delivering beneficial nutrition that the plant needs for success. H2OExcel™ brings the biologicals along to populate more of the root zone; deeper in the soil profile.
• Saponins – Saponins is a cell found in enormous numbers in desert plants. They resemble dish sponges and have high water-storage capacity and continually share that water with the plants as needed. This component in H2OExcel™ is critical to making water-use more efficient so crops can endure long periods of drought, which is critical in reducing the need for irrigation.
• Humates for Soil Conditioning – Think of this feature as tiny little lockers in the ground that have the ability to store plant-available minerals and nutrients. As the plant’s needs change, there will always be stores of nutrients available. H2OExcel™ brings this feature for optimum performance and yield.
