It enhances nutrient uptake and seed germination, supports all plant types, and is ideal for drought-prone areas or watering restrictions. ## Description desertcart.com : Hydretain Moisture Manager - Fall Overseeding, 15,000 Sq Ft (1 Gallon) | Improves Seed Germination, 3-Month Residual, Easy to Apply : Patio, Lawn & Garden ## Features - BUILT FOR FALL OVERSEEDING & NEW SEED — Fall is prime seeding season, and germination lives or dies on consistent moisture. Hydretain holds water in the seedbed between rains and irrigation so young roots never dry out during establishment. University of Illinois research confirms Hydretain increases seed germination rates — making it ideal for overseeding thin lawns, sodding, and starting new turf as temperatures cool. One treatment carries seedlings through the critical first weeks. - PROTECTS ROOTS HEADING INTO WINTER — Turf builds its deepest roots in fall, and that root growth needs steady moisture right up until the ground freezes. Hydretain keeps the root zone hydrated through late-season dry spells so lawns, trees, shrubs, and evergreens enter winter stronger and better prepared to resist winter moisture stress and desiccation. Set your lawn up now for a faster, greener spring green-up. - MORE THAN A WETTING AGENT — Hydretain is the only moisture manager that moves moisture through the soil and condenses vapor into usable water droplets — keeping plants hydrated 2–3x longer between waterings. Unlike wetting agents, surfactants, or absorbent polymer crystals, Hydretain's patented humectant formula works at the molecular level to capture soil moisture that would otherwise be lost to evaporation and deliver it straight to the roots. - ONE APPLICATION LASTS 3 MONTHS — A single fall treatment protects the root zone for a full 90 days — through germination, establishment, and into dormancy. One gallon covers up to 15,000 sq ft of lawn or 4,000 sq ft of gardens. For lawns: apply 9 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft with any hose-end or pump sprayer, then water in. For gardens and beds: dilute 2 fl oz per gallon of water and drench to saturate. One application, three months of protection. - USE WHAT THE PROS USE — Trusted by golf courses, sports fields, municipalities, and landscape professionals for decades — the same pro-grade formula, now available for home use. Compatible with all cool- and warm-season grasses: Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, Ryegrass, Bermuda, St. Augustine, Zoysia, Centipede, and Bahia, plus trees, shrubs, containers, and garden beds. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00A63NDYG | | Application Method | hose-end sprayer | | Best Sellers Rank | #20,363 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #486 in Garden Fertilizers | | Brand | Hydretain | | Coverage | Medium | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,990 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00768103751280 | | Included Components | 1 Gallon | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Highlight | Improves Seed Germination, 3-Month Residual, Easy to Apply | | Item Type Name | Root Zone Moisture Manager | | Item Weight | 11.2 pounds | | Liquid Volume | 1 gallons | | Manufacturer | Hydretain Root Zone Moisture Manager, Cuts Watering 50%, 1 Gal Concentrate | | Mixing Ratio | 1 | | Model Number | HESP1R | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | HESP1R | | Specific Uses For Product | Active | | Target Species | plants | | UPC | 768103751280 | | Unit Count | 128 Fluid Ounces | | Warranty Description | See label | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hydretain - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00768103751280 - **Item Form:** Liquid - **Liquid Volume:** 128 fluid ounces - **Specific Uses For Product:** Active ## Images ![Hydretain Moisture Manager - Fall Overseeding, 15,000 Sq Ft (1 Gallon) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614SVpd3OQL.jpg) ![Hydretain Moisture Manager - Fall Overseeding, 15,000 Sq Ft (1 Gallon) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-THj4ptrL.jpg) ![Hydretain Moisture Manager - Fall Overseeding, 15,000 Sq Ft (1 Gallon) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZYHQmwhUL.jpg) ![Hydretain Moisture Manager - Fall Overseeding, 15,000 Sq Ft (1 Gallon) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Ulpf+OpSL.jpg) ![Hydretain Moisture Manager - Fall Overseeding, 15,000 Sq Ft (1 Gallon) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Qdonpk-PL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How long does it last before you have to apply it again?** A: I only apply it during the dry months. My first application of the year is at the beginning of June at the full 9 oz/1000 sqft application. Then I follow up monthly at the beginning of , July, August, and September at a 3 oz/1000 sqft rate. My grass stayed green throughout the summer months for the first time. If you have a longer dry season, you could just start earlier or add another 3 oz/1000 sqft for an additional month. Your soil condition has a lot to do with it too. I use liquid aeration on my lawn and the soil soaks in the water when it rains. I also cut my grass (turf type tall fescue) at 4 inches and mow twice a week. Taller grass shades the soil and keeps it cooler so the grass does not go dormant. **Q: Anyone know the difference between this and the es plus ii which is the same price on amazon?** A: The Plus is more concentrated with Compare the two formulas and choose what works best for you: the ES Plus has 54% Humectant while the Plus II has 50% Humectant and 4.6% Humate. **Q: How much square footage is 1 gallon good for?** A: 1 quart can treat 2500 to 5000 square feet usually we apply heavy application on first one and then stretch it more on later applications **Q: Anyone else receive a gallon in a plain white bottle without a label and no instructions?** A: Thank you for the question. If you received one where the label either fell off or was not applied by the manufacturer, please reach out to us (One Team One Dream Solutions) and we can send you a PDF of the label. Thank you for bringing this to our attention so we can let the manufacturer know. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hydretain Root Zone Moisture Manager - Drought Protection and Moisture Control for Lawns, Gardens, Containers - Reduces Watering, Delays Wilt - Covers up to 20,000 Sq Ft (1 Gallon) - Organic Kelp Fertilizer by GS Plant Foods - Omri Certified (1 Quart) - Kelp Fertilizer for Gardens, Lawns & Soil - Root Ruckus Compost Fertilizer Organic - Turbo Charged Compost for Plants - Humic Acid & Sea Kelp Nutritional Root Supplement for Lawns, Soil, Shrubs & Vegetables - 1 Gallon --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/156786551-hydretain-moisture-manager-fall-overseeding-15-000-sq-ft-1](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/156786551-hydretain-moisture-manager-fall-overseeding-15-000-sq-ft-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-11-09*
