Abstract/Contents:Presents a study "to determine the wetting efficiency and long-term residual effects of the various wetting agents used." Results include that "the ether groups have better wetting characteristics but offer less residual efficiency. The esters, however, are more tightly adsorbed and are less likely to be leached out over a period of time...All the wetting agents used were shown to be better than water alone by the end of the three-year period...In general, if initial wetting is required to prevent erosion and increase infiltration, the most efficient nonionic would be one of the ether group. If long term efficiency is required, the ester group would be better."
