Top 3 Advantages That Using Water Retaining Gel Crystals For Plants

Water Retaining Gel

Water Retaining gel is also called potassium polyacrylate or super absorbent polymer.It is a new function polymer with unbelievable water absorption ability. Actually, 1 gram water retaining gel can absorb 300-1000 gram water.After absorption , it turn to water gel like this :

For Plants

Now let’s talk about advantages for plants. Water retaining gel can absorb water and turn to water gel when it is raining or irrigated. And when the dry season coming, water gel can release water back to plant’s root.

So you can regard it as a “Mini-reservoir“.

Advantages

Here is the mainly advantages for plants:

–Improve seed germination and emergence to give plants an early, health start.

–Save the irrigation, increase crops and fruit yield.

–It contains Potassium, Phosphorus Nitrogen and release the fertilizer efficiency slowly.

Applications

Common plants and crops

15 to 30 kg per acre dosage, along with seeds hole application or ditch application to the soil around the seed. The seed germination rate can effectively improve and promote seedling growth. Gets success planting corn in the U.S, pature in arid area of Inner Mongolia, potatoes grown in Cape Verde Africa, and potato yield increase more than 2 times.

Seed coating

For Seed coating use, the particle size of Supe absorbent polymer should be 0.3 mm or less.It can help seeds emergence quickly, strong and good disease resistance.This is the easy available way to use Supe absorbent polymer for plants in drought area, which also with small quantity, low cost and good performance.

Gardening, horticulture and landscape

Supe absorbent polymer is ideal for mixing soil matrix, for indoor and outdoor pots, planters, window boxes, balconies, terraces, roofs, hanging, gardens and city landscape. Planting shrub, flower, grass, vegetables are also available. Using Water retaining gel crystals can bring water-saving, labor saving, time-saving benefits and reduce the drought or wilting risk causing by long time no watering the plants, longer the green time and the blossom period.

Lawn and golf course

Application in golf and lawn can save about 50%-70% water, reduce the cost of maintenance, and ave about 30%-50% fertilizer. Lawn grows faster, healthier, and the green last longer.It also make less pollution caused by the loss of fertilizer.

Trees

Using 10-20g Supe absorbent polymer (SAP) can double the survival rate of young trees when planting tree seedlings (bare root).

For adult deciduous fruit trees, put the SAP with organic fertilizer, taken with a ring groove or furrow in the root area. The dosage is up on the soil condition, tree size and the ditching situation, should generally be 0.3% of the backfill soil and fertilizer.
