Yuccah
NATURAL WETTING AGENT
Yuccah is a natural-based wetting agent/soil penetrant derived from the Yucca schidigera plant. This unique
desert plant produces natural surfactants to help it use water more efficiently.
These surfactant compounds help plants survive the extreme heat, drought and soil salinity found in harsh
climates. Yucca schidigera extracts also contain natural saponins that promote beneficial microbial activity
in the soil. Yuccah is also very useful as a wetting agent when applying foliar sprays with fertilizers as
Natural Green or Organic Plant Feed. Yuccah enhances quicker drying of the leaves, making them less
susceptible for infestations.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Apply with water or spray mixes whenever plants are stressed due to heat, drought, compaction or
hydrophobic soil conditions. For optimal results dilute 1:100 in water, and apply as a spray or soil drench.
Yuccah may foam with agitation. To reduce foaming, add other ingredients first and mix. Then add Yuccah
to the tank when it is almost full. Reduce agitation vigor to reduce foaming.
