will not burn or discolor leaf tissue when itis applied in hot or dry weather.

Steroid saponins are natural floccingagents that open the soil to air and waterby aggregating soil particles. They increasethe movement of water through hydropho-bic soils, improving water penetration andretention.

Since steroid saponins are natural plantfluids that are extracted only by pressure,there is no danger of burning on any crop,and no danger of groundwater contamina-tion. NoburN is recommended by the man-ufacturer in situations where there is riskof injury or burn from synthetic agents, andin programs where chemical use is undesir-able. It is biodegradable in the soil andpresents no residue problem.
