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 roots of a plant, it spares 65 – 95% of water utilized. Its application is basic yet effective.

​

This polyacrylate hydrogel was created to develop farming in extreme climates, whether excessively hot, excessively parched, and so forth. It assists with: dry season, desertification, poor soil quality, and treatment. Rather than day by day watering, Super Absorbent Polymers permit watering once per week, sparing time, money, and water.

​

Super absorbent polymer for agriculture can assimilate and hold a great degree of water in respect to their own particular mass. Water-retaining polymers, which are delegated hydrogels when cross-connected, absorb fluids through hydrogen bonding with water. Their capacity to retain water is an element of the ionic concentration of the watery arrangement.

​

Polyacrylate hydrogel in agriculture is effective in water utilization in agricultural and horticultural crops in areas with rainfed agriculture, from little or negligible to limited irrigation conditions. It offers huge economic viability to cultivations and is a boon to dry states, called the "future generation of farming".

​

Hydrogel polymer/ superabsorbent polymer (SAP) are a system of polymer chains hydrophilic in nature with water as the dispersion medium. It is capable of storing more than 90% water and has a level of adaptability same as natural tissues, because of their huge water content.

​

Hydrogel polymer is a water absorption agent that once added to soil or substrate will absorb and hold vast 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 or 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, a SAP may assimilate 300 times its weight (from 30 - 60 times its own volume).
