2. Hydrogel is super
absorbent hydrogel
polymer has the capability
of holding water up to 500 -
600 times its own weight,
helping dry or rain fed
agriculture retain water for
longer periods, thereby
minimizing irrigation
frequency in drought prone
and/ or rain fed agriculture
areas.

3. Properties & Benefits

6. Hydrogel Agriculture
(Super Absorbent Polymer
for Agriculture) is
potassium based non-toxic
polymer capable of
absorbing and retaining
water up to 300 — 500
times of its own size. When
mixed with soil and sown at
the root zone of a plant, it
saves 65 – 95% of
water. It's application is
basic yet effective.

7. • Hydrogel Agriculture once added to soil
and/ or substrate will absorb and hold
huge amounts of water and
supplements, nearly up to 400 - 800
times of its own particular weight.
• Hydrogel polymers formed through
cross-linking polymer chains (physical,
ionic/ shared bonding) are well known
for their water absorption.
• Hydrogels are mostly homogeneous in
nature.
• Super Absorbent Polymers, which are
delegated hydrogels, retain watery
arrangements through hydrogen
bonding with water atoms.
• In de-ionized and de-mineralized water,
Super Absorbent Polymer may
assimilate 300 times its weight (from 30
- 60 times its own volume).
