Why the Ag market?
 The availability of water is limited and decreasing
 Record drought in key Ag areas of US
 More permanent irrigation systems installed
 Application versatility of RainDrops
 Product features and benefits
What is RainDrops?
 RainDrops was developed as a surfactant, penetrant and
humectant to maximize irrigation efficiency.
 RainDrops is a unique liquid blend of patented hygroscopic
(attract and hold water molecules) humectant technology
combined with an advanced, non-ionic wetting agent for
improved soil penetration and performance.
 In combination, these technologies provide excellent water
conservation in the soil and stress reduction through efficient
subsurface soil moisture management.
How does it work?
 As a humectant hygroscopic compound, RainDrops improves the
soil's ability to retain moisture. The more hygroscopic the soil, the
better it is suited to retaining moisture necessary for plant
growth.
 RainDrops, as a surfactant/wetting agent, penetrates into a dry
soil area by lowering the surface tension and thus increase its
ability to spread & transfer water from particle to particle while
its penetration will continue to condense water vapor into water
droplets.
Water Only
Water with RainDrops
What are the primary features?
 Moves water away from the surface
 Allows water to penetrate into root zone
 Retains water in the soil profile
 Lengthens available soil moisture
 Increase water availability in the soil profile
 Converts otherwise unavailable soil moisture to available soil moisture
in the soil profile.
What have we learned?
 Apply early in season and continue on maintenance schedules
 Extremely versatile in combination with nutrient blends
 Reduction of plant stress contributes favorably enhances yield
 Irrigation cycle lengthened out by at least 25%
 Reduction in water may achieve greater than 20%
 Retailers and growers prefer 275 gallon totes for ease of use
 ROI for growers and resellers increasing
What are the best use guidelines?
 Apply 32 oz. per irrigated acre for the first application
then apply at a rate of 32 oz. per irrigated acre every 4
weeks. Rates may vary depending on crop and soil type.
 RainDrops is a self agitating liquid fed directly into any
permanent set irrigation.
 Used alone or in mixtures with plant nutrients or crop
protection products to maximize applications

Research and Field Trial
Data Summaries
RainDrops Research Trials
 Texas A&M
Determined that irrigations can be extended up to 35% longer in sandy
loam soil (source: Dr. John J. Sloan)
 California Almonds
RainDrops averaged 13% lower pressure bomb reading when applying
100% of the applied water to Almonds over an 8 week period (source:
Kurt Quade Consulting).
 California Grapes
Initial 45% soil moisture increase with a 20% increase in soil moisture
12 days from initial application vs. competitive products verified with
Aqua Probe Sensors at depths of 4, 8, 16, 24, 32 and 40 inches (source:
