What is agricultural hydrogel and how does it work?

Agricultural hydrogel is an innovative solution designed to improve water retention in the soil and help crops better withstand periods of drought.

Published by AQUASOL AGRO · Agricultural hydrogel · Water retention

Agricultural hydrogel is a material capable of absorbing water and gradually releasing it when the soil begins to lose moisture. Its main function is to act as a water reserve near the roots.

In agriculture, this technology can help reduce water stress, improve root development, and optimize irrigation frequency.

A water reserve for the soil

The hydrogel absorbs water during irrigation or rainfall and gradually makes it available to the plant.

How does it work in the soil?

When incorporated into the soil, the hydrogel hydrates and increases in volume. Then, when the soil dries out, it slowly releases some of the retained water.

This helps maintain more stable moisture around the roots and improve irrigation efficiency.

Which crops can it be used for?

It can be applied to citrus orchards, olive groves, vineyards, horticulture, nurseries, professional landscaping, fruit trees, and farms seeking to optimize water consumption.
