MARKET SEGMENT:
Sundew ROOT+ tablets offer a unique delivery system for the rapid treatment of localised dry spot. Each tablet contains wetting agent and auxin-driven root biostimulant technology to rapidly re-wet soil, stimulate root initiation, and improve moisture uptake during periods of water stress. The tablets are designed to fit most hose-end applicators used for hand-held treatments of hydrophobic soils in turf.
SUNDEW ROOT+
Driving Rootzone Performance and Moisture Uptake
SUNDEW ROOT+ builds on the core wetting performance by incorporating targeted rootzone support, helping turf maximise the benefits of improved soil moisture conditions. By enhancing root initiation and development, ROOT+ allows turf to more effectively access water and nutrients within the soil profile.
In high-performance turf systems, the ability of roots to explore the soil profile is directly linked to resilience under stress. Shallow or compromised root systems limit water uptake and increase vulnerability to dry conditions. ROOT+ supports the development of deeper and more functional root systems, enabling improved moisture utilisation and greater tolerance to environmental stress.
By combining effective soil wetting with root-focused biostimulant technology, SUNDEW ROOT+ provides a solution that not only improves immediate water penetration but also strengthens the plant’s ability to perform over the longer term. This makes it particularly valuable in preparation for stress periods or as part of a program designed to improve overall turf resilience.
Proven Moisture Retention Across the Sundew Precision Water Control Pellet Range
Maintaining consistent soil moisture is one of the greatest challenges in professional turf management. Heat stress, hydrophobic soils, uneven water distribution and periods of drying can all reduce turf performance and place unnecessary stress on the plant.
Every product in the Sundew Precision Water Control Pellet Range is built on the same advanced wetting technology, engineered to improve water infiltration, enhance moisture retention and maintain a more consistent soil moisture profile. Whether you choose Sundew CORE, Sundew AMINO or Sundew ROOT+, you are benefiting from the same proven foundation of high-performance moisture management, with each formulation offering additional targeted benefits for specific turf management objectives.
The graph below compares Volumetric Water Content (VWC%) over seven days following application of the Sundew Precision Water Control Pellet Technology, an untreated control and a leading industry benchmark wetting agent.
At the commencement of the trial, all treatments began with the same soil moisture level. Following application and irrigation, the Sundew wetting technology consistently retained higher levels of soil moisture throughout the seven-day evaluation period.
Higher Volumetric Water Content (VWC%) means more plant-available water remains within the rootzone, allowing turf to maintain hydration for longer between irrigation events. Rather than drying rapidly, soils treated with Sundew’s advanced wetting technology remain within a more favourable moisture range, helping reduce moisture stress and support healthier, more resilient turf.
For turf professionals, this translates into practical, measurable benefits:
- Improved water infiltration into hydrophobic soils.
- Increased moisture retention within the rootzone.
- More uniform moisture distribution throughout the soil profile.
- Reduced moisture fluctuations between irrigation cycles.
- Improved turf resilience during periods of environmental stress.
- Faster recovery following short-term moisture deficit.
While the moisture management technology remains consistent across the range, each product has been specifically developed for different turf management objectives.
- Sundew CORE provides the essential foundation for effective soil moisture management and preventative water management programs.
- Sundew AMINO combines the same proven wetting technology with amino acids to help support turf recovery during periods of heat, drought and environmental stress.
- Sundew ROOT+ builds on the proven wetting platform with auxin technology to encourage stronger root development and improved long-term turf resilience.
Whether managing golf greens, sports fields, racecourses or premium landscapes, the Sundew Precision Water Control Pellet Range delivers proven moisture management together with targeted turf enhancement technologies—providing turf managers with the confidence to select the right solution for every situation.
One Proven Technology. Three Targeted Solutions.
| Product | Best Used For | Added Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| CORE | Routine preventative moisture management | Proven wetting technology |
| AMINO | Heat, drought and moisture stress recovery | Amino acids to support plant recovery |
| ROOT+ | Root development and long-term turf resilience | Auxin technology to promote stronger root systems |
Directions for Use
SUNDEW ROOT+ tablets are designed to fit most hose-end applicators enabling quick, convenient and effective treatments of hydrophobic soils in turf.
Simply remove the lid from the pellet bottle and place the whole tablet inside the applicator including the plastic vessel with label on it.
One SUNDEW ROOT+ tablet will treat from two to three golf greens, or approximately 1,100 m2 to 1,500 m2 of turf. The tablet will dissolve and disperse fully in approximately 30 minutes utilising a 1 inch hose with up to 100 psi. The total water volume applied with the use of one SUNDEW ROOT+ is determined by water pressure, temperature and flow rate and will ultimately be determined by the applicator.
