Keep Your Lawn Hydrated With Less Water Hydretain ES Plus Granular QD is a professional root-zone moisture management product designed to help lawns and plants make better use of moisture already present in the soil. Once watered into the root zone, Hydretain attracts moisture vapor that would otherwise be lost and converts it into tiny water droplets that plant roots can use. This helps reduce drought stress and keeps more moisture available between watering cycles. Why Choose Hydretain Granular QD? Reduces watering needs: Can reduce watering requirements by up to 50% when used as directed. Protects against drought stress: Helps lawns and plants stay hydrated during hot, dry conditions. Long-lasting performance: One application can remain effective for up to three months. Quick-dissolving granules: Applies easily through a standard broadcast or rotary spreader. Safe for the entire landscape: Use on lawns, trees, shrubs, flower beds, gardens, and container plants. When to Apply Apply Hydretain before hot, dry weather or drought stress begins. It can also be used when planting seed, installing sod, transplanting, or establishing new landscape plants. How to Apply to Lawns Apply 2.7 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Spread evenly with a standard lawn spreader. Water in thoroughly with approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch of water. Reapply every three months or as needed.

It helps improve watering efficiency by keeping more usable moisture available around plant roots.
