Use cases
Helping you grow deeper, distribute better, and build stronger—from the ground up.
Construction & Dust Control
Reduces dust and protects against erosion. Promotes deep absorption and stabilizes dry or disturbed soils, providing long-lasting control. Minimizes dust on roads and construction sites. Protects slopes and reduces soil loss.
Agriculture & Farming
Improves water infiltration, nutrient uptake, and reduces runoff. Increases yield, saves water, and strengthens crop resilience. Improves irrigation efficiency, nutrient uptake, and root health.
Sports & Landscaping
Reduces compaction, improves moisture retention, and lowers water consumption on high-traffic surfaces. Keep your lawn in optimal condition, even under heavy traffic. Avoid dry areas and reduce watering cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Naiad?
Naiad is a professional-grade water penetrant and soil dispersant designed to reduce surface tension and help water infiltrate deeper into the soil. It promotes even water distribution and maximizes irrigation efficiency in agricultural settings.

How does Naiad help improve water usage?
Naiad works by:
- Breaking water surface tension for faster soil penetration
- Reducing runoff and evaporation
- Improving water availability to plant roots
Enhancing irrigation uniformity, even in hydrophobic or compacted soils
Is Naiad environmentally safe?
Yes. Naiad is non-toxic, free from solvents and nonylphenols, and safe for soil biology. It’s designed to protect groundwater and maintain a healthy soil ecosystem.
When should I apply Naiad?
Apply Naiad:
- At the beginning of the irrigation cycle
- Along with fertilizers or soil treatments
- During hot or dry seasons to enhance irrigation effectiveness
How is Naiad applied and what is the dosage?
Recommended application via irrigation systems (drip, sprinkler, or flood):
- Rate: 1 to 2 quarts per acre per application
- Can be tank-mixed with compatible nutrients and ag inputs
Always consult with a technical advisor for site-specific recommendations.
Does Naiad replace fertilizers or pesticides?
No. Naiad is not a fertilizer or pesticide. It is an irrigation adjuvant that improves water movement and enhances the effectiveness of other soil-applied products.
What benefits can I expect from using Naiad?
- Stronger, deeper root systems
- Less water stress under high temperatures
- Softer, more workable soils
- Better uniformity across the crop field
- Reduced water waste and improved fertilizer use efficiency
Does it work on tough soils or water-repellent conditions?
Yes. Naiad is effective on compacted, clay-heavy, or hydrophobic soils. It helps water penetrate where it would otherwise pool or run off.
