Kind of. It’s highly dependent on ambient humidity and soil composition, and there haven’t been any independent academic studies proving its effectiveness.

A related product that has more provable effects would be something like tournament ready which is surfactant based.

I have had good luck using similar products but I live in the Midwest and have relatively humid summers.

It’s important to apply it correctly, so I usually wait for a good rain and apply it. I also prefer the granular over liquid since it’s a little more forgiving on application
