The benefits of early season surfactant applications.
Understanding why an early season surfactant application is beneficial can best be demonstrated using a slinky. Looking at soils as a slinky they are loose coming out of winter and become more restricted as the season progresses due to physical traffic from maintenance equipment and play.
Check out: Patented, multi-branched surfactant chemistry
Early surfactant application enables you to locate chemistry deeper in the soil profile while that slinky is pulled apart. This is more difficult as the season progresses and soils become restricted. The first surfactant application pays the most dividends.

Golf Course Management Magazine recently shared two research studies on turf industry surfactants. You can find both research articles below.

In 2015 we evaluated the efficacy of OARS PS in providing winter hydration to putting greens. Our focus was to provide research based facts that OARS PS could provide the following for turfgrass managers:
- After an application of OARS PS, the soil profile can be dried down and then be rewet without having to make an additional surfactant application. Our molecule will activate in the soil to rehydrate the profile.
- The regenerational, multi-branch chemistry will have the longevity to over winter and provide hydration benefits in the spring following a thaw.
- OARS PS will mitigate LDS occurrence throughout the winter months with only one fall application.
- OARS PS will mitigate both LDS and winter desiccation with one fall app and a spring follow up application.
- Overall an application of OARS PS made in the fall will help the plant maintain its health during winter months and allow for recovery from environmental conditions in the spring.
