Hydrogels are water-absorbing polymers that significantly enhance soil moisture
retention, benefiting various agricultural applications. They are available in
two primary forms: powder and crystal, each suited to specific uses.
Powder Hydrogel With a grain size between 0.2 and 0.8 mm,
powder hydrogel is
ideal for small planting beds, such as plant pots and boxes. It's also utilized
in certain agricultural settings, including vineyards and poppy cultivation.
Crystal Hydrogel:Featuring a larger grain size of 0.8 to 2.0
mm, crystal
hydrogel is best for areas with substantial soil volume, like gardens, fields,
lawns, and greenhouses. Its structure allows for effective water retention in
these expansive environments.
Choosing the appropriate hydrogel form depends on the specific application area:
