A surfactant that won't burn and can be dried on the leaf blade, without watering in, and keeps full efficacy. It is often applied to large areas of grass, such as fairways.

Agriox

Breathes life into the soil. Agriox releases the tied up nutrients, fertilizers and other products in the soil that will lead to a pop of color and plant growth after first its application. Like a vitamin or high antioxidant food, as opposed to an antibiotic, Agriox is best used in small quantities regularly. Don't eat healthy food just once for optimal health. Apply Agriox monthly to avoid harsh chemical usage and maintain optimal plant and soil health. Agriox is particularly necessary in the spring, with ideal applications in April for many geographic areas. Though it is not an algaecide, Agriox is applied to prevent the need of using the algaecide chemicals.
