Abstract:
A method of enhancing soil water infiltration (SWI) and/or reducing soil water repellency (SWR) comprising: treating an area of groundcover with a composition A comprising A1) a block polymer (P) comprising at least one polyethyleneoxide moiety and at least one polypropyleneoxide moiety, and A2) an alcohol alkoxylate (E), wherein the SWI of the area of groundcover is enhanced and/or the SWR of the area of groundcover is reduced after treatment with the composition A.
