S4 E44 When Do Wetting Agents Improve Infiltration?

Do wetting agents always help water move into soil? We revisit the classic 1962 study The Effect of Wetting Agents on Infiltration by R. E. Pelishek, J. Osborn, and J. Letey, which found that wetting agents improved infiltration in hydrophobic soils but could have little or even adverse effects in soils that were not strongly water repellent.
