Water$ave Broadacre is a blend of super absorbent and lineal polymers, designed specifically for use in agriculture.
Independent testing demonstrates Broadacre’s ability to improve water retention in soil by up to 95%*. Water use efficiency is dramatically improved by up to 19 times.
This increase in available water results in better strike rates, stronger establishment and improved overall crop resilience to the effects of intermittent rain.
Root development is enhanced and growth is visibly more rapid.
Water$ave Broadacre will absorb and then release water, nutrients and fertilizer over a prolonged period. This action significantly delays the wilting point by up to 100%, ensuring a good population and even growth of plants.

Water$ave Broadacre is a dry, white powder with particles ranging from .1mm to 2mm in size. Once hydrated the absorbent particles increase in size by up to 100 times. The retained water is then slowly made available to the root zone as the soil dries.
Applications rates are typically 10kg – 15kg per hectare applied with fertilizer and seed
