Prevent Water Repellency and Promote Turf Uniformity

Primer Select® is a high performance soil surfactant that lays the foundation of an effective rootzone management program.  It is safe for all turf species throughout the entire growing season and in all climates.

Benefits of Primer Select:

  • Prevents water repellency issues

  • Promotes turf uniformity

  • Establishes the desired “matrix flow” in the rootzone

  • Flexible application rates fit different soil types and conditions

Season-Long Protection Against Water Repellency

Combat Water Repellency

Primer Select reduces soil water repellency that commonly occurs in the thatch and upper 1-2 inches of the soil profile of highly managed turf, particularly putting greens.

By managing soil hydrophobicity, Primer Select enhances the penetration and infiltration of water into the rootzone throughout the growing season.
