Maximise your water's impact

Soils, particularly sandy soils become water repellent when weak organic acids form during the breakdown of organic matter. These organic acids coat soil particles and form a barrier of water repellent material. Coastal Western Australia has very sandy soils and this condition occurs frequently.

Baileys has been a trusted name in WA turf solutions for over 60 years, delivering expertise and innovative products tailored to local conditions. Addressing the common challenge of water repellency in WA’s sandy soils, Baileys offers solutions like Grosorb to improve water infiltration and retention, ensuring healthier, more resilient turf.

WA's challenging climate

In WA's challenging climate, wetting agents are essential for managing water-repellent soils, particularly in sandy areas. Baileys Grosorb improves water infiltration, ensuring moisture reaches the root zone.

Performance and Longevity

Independent trialling of Baileys Grosorb was conducted by Sports Turf Technology to compare the performance of granular and liquid formulations against two widely used competitive products. A premium commercial wetting agent, and a well known retail wetting agent.

Results demonstrated that liquid and granulated formulations of Grosorb were equally effective and active 3 months after application. Grosorb was shown to be equal to or better than the commercial competitive product. Grosorb was far superior to the popular retail product.
