Organic Acid Redistribution System with Hydrating Surfactant
OARS is a patented corrective soil surfactant that removes the cause of water repellency and localized dry spots (LDS) by solubilizing organic acids, restoring uniform soil moisture, and improving turfgrass performance for up to 30 days.
Product Details
OARS – Corrective Soil Surfactant with Patented Organic Acid Redistribution System
OARS is a university-researched, field-proven corrective surfactant technology designed to eliminate the cause of soil water repellency and localized dry spots (LDS). Research has shown that LDS develops when organic acids (humic substances) accumulate in the top inch of the soil below the thatch layer, creating hydrophobic conditions that restrict uniform water movement.
Unlike traditional surfactants that merely mask the symptoms, OARS is the only chemistry proven to address water repellency at its source. Its patented Organic Acid Redistribution System (OARS) combines a hydrating surfactant with an organic acid solubilizer, which dissolves and flushes hydrophobic organic coatings from soil particles—restoring normal water flow and uniform soil moisture.
This 30-day deep hydrating surfactant promotes consistent infiltration, improved re-wetting patterns, and a balanced moisture profile across the root zone. The result is a dryer playing surface, improved turf performance, and healthier, more resilient turfgrass under all conditions.

LIQUID:
For increased penetration and surface firmness, apply 7 ounces per 1,000 ft² in 2 gallons of water (23 L/ha in 800 L) at 15 day intervals or as needed.
Irrigate after each application to remove the surfactant from the plant surfaces.
GRANULAR:
Apply 3.75 lbs per 1,000 ft² (180 kg/ha) at 30 day intervals or as needed based on water repellency severity.
Irrigation is necessary to release OARS from the carrier. Irrigate before next mowing or leave baskets off.
PELLET:
Apply when hand watering
