Product Overview
SACOA’s BIOWETT™ Premium’s proprietary blend of unique surfactants and humectants maximise plant available moisture whilst optimising plant safety for use on premium fine turf. Simply put, BIOWETT™ Premium reduces the water required to maintain premium turf by increasing water capture at the soil surface to then maximise and extend soil moisture retention evenly around the root zone for longer periods.

WA Trials Prove Performance and Safety
BIOWETT Premium’s unique formulation of specialty surfactants and moisture retention agents has been proven over four years of WA turf trials to deliver superior greening and extended moisture retention. The WA trials also show that when applied correctly, the BIOWETT Premium formulation presents virtually no risk of grass burn.
Proven Safety
Alexander Park, WA 2016 – Mean Phytotoxicity Rating, 3 DAT.
BIOWETT Premium was tested against a number of other soil treatments on the market to assess its potential to cause plant burn (‘phytotoxicity’).
Notes: 0 = Nil, 1 = Slight, 2 = Moderate, 3 = Severe.
Proven Performance
Ryrie Reserve, WA 2016 – Soil Moisture % (0-50mm) 5 Weeks After Treatment.
BIOWETT Premium was tested against leading soil treatments to assess turf greening and extended (five weeks) soil moisture retention.
