Super Absorbent Polymer For Plants

Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) is a revolutionary material known for its excellent water absorption and retention capabilities.

Super Absorbent Polymer acts as a “Mini-reservoir” in agriculture, absorbing water during rainfall and releasing it back during dry periods. This eco-friendly material is non-toxic, harmless, and environmentally friendly.

Benefits of Super Absorbent Polymer in Agriculture:

1. Improves seed germination and emergence, providing plants with a healthy start.

2. Contains 18.3% Potassium and gradually releases fertilizer for enhanced plant growth.

3. Increases soil water holding capacity by 85% in sandy soils, reducing irrigation needs.

4. Boosts crop and fruit yield by up to 70%, as demonstrated in successful melon plantations in California.

How Super Absorbent Polymer Works: Agriculture-grade Super Absorbent Polymer comprises interconnected polymeric chains forming a network structure. When water comes into contact with these chains, it is absorbed through osmosis and stored within the polymer network, transforming Super Absorbent Polymer into a water gel. This gel’s absorption capacity is greater than soil but less than plant roots, ensuring water is released to plants as needed.

Applications of Super Absorbent Polymer:

• Common Plants and Crops: Applying 15 to 30 kg per hectare around seeds or in soil holes significantly improves seed germination and seedling growth, as evidenced by successful crop plantations worldwide.
• Seed Coating: Coating seeds with fine particle-sized Super Absorbent Polymer accelerates seed emergence, enhances disease resistance, and offers a cost-effective solution for drought-prone areas.
• Gardening, Horticulture, and Landscaping: Super Absorbent Polymeris ideal for various gardening applications, including soil mixing, potting, and landscaping, providing water-saving, labor-saving, and time-saving benefits while reducing drought risks.
• Lawn and Golf Course Maintenance: Using Super Absorbent Polymerin lawns and golf courses reduces water usage by 50%-70%, lowers maintenance costs, and minimizes fertilizer needs, resulting in healthier and longer-lasting greenery.
• Tree Care: Adding 10-20g of Super Absorbent polymer during tree planting increases young tree survival rates and supports the growth of adult fruit trees when combined with organic fertilizer.

In summary, SAP’s versatile applications and benefits make it a valuable tool for sustainable agriculture, horticulture, and landscaping practices.
