Frequently asked questions

Potassium polyacrylate is a superabsorbent hydrogel that can retain up to 400 times its weight in water and release it progressively to plant roots according to their needs. In Mediterranean agriculture, it reduces water stress, improves root development, optimizes water consumption, and increases plant resilience during periods of drought.

AQUASOL ECO is the standard hydrogel for most Mediterranean crops. AQUASOL HYDRO is the premium version, with greater durability and a higher water-retention coefficient, intended for high-demand crops, very sandy soils, or severe stress conditions. Both retain up to 400 times their weight in water.

Yes. AQUASOL AGRO recommends tripling the dosage in saline or alkaline soils to compensate for the reduced efficiency. Thanks to this dosage adjustment, water efficiency remains similar to that of normal soil.

Between 10% and 50%, depending on the crop, soil, climate, and irrigation. The best results are achieved in sandy soils in dry climates. Use our free calculator to estimate the exact savings in m³ and euros.

It depends on the soil, climate, and agricultural practices. It maintains its properties for several seasons. AQUASOL HYDRO has a longer useful life than AQUASOL ECO thanks to its premium formulation.

Yes, compatible with drip irrigation, sprinklers, manual irrigation, and other systems. Apply it in the root zone before irrigation to maximize absorption from the first cycle.

For young trees: mix it with soil in the planting hole. For mature trees: apply it locally beneath the drip line or in holes 20–30 cm deep. Always water after application to activate the product.

Yes, although with varying efficiency. It performs best in sandy or rocky soils. In clay soils, the improvement is smaller, as they already have good natural water retention. In saline or alkaline soils: triple the dose.

As potassium polyacrylate degrades, it releases potassium into the soil, an essential nutrient for plants. It contains no heavy metals or substances that are toxic to the soil or crops.

Consult your organic certifier. Potassium polyacrylate is not authorized under most European certified organic farming standards. There are no restrictions for conventional or integrated farming.

Under favorable conditions, it can improve fruit size by 5–15%, promote a higher sugar concentration, and improve coloration. Results vary depending on the crop, climate, and agronomic management.

During planting or at the beginning of the growing season, before periods of greatest water stress. For established trees: before spring or at the beginning of summer. In horticulture: during soil preparation or transplanting.

Yes, compatible with precision seeders, localized fertilizer applicators, centrifugal spreaders, transplanters, microgranule applicators, and other standard equipment for granular fertilizers.

Compatible with most mineral fertilizers and standard treatments. Do not mix directly with high-salt-concentration products. Consult our technical team for specific cases.

It is precisely in dry climates that AQUASOL AGRO offers the greatest value. Trials in vineyards conducted in southern France, with temperatures of up to 40°C, showed visible differences after one month between treated and untreated plants.

It starts absorbing water as soon as it comes into contact with moisture. With normal watering, it reaches its maximum capacity within a few hours. That is why a first watering after application is always recommended.

Yes, it is highly suitable for forest and ornamental nurseries, pots, and containers. Mix it with the substrate at 1.2–2 kg/m³. It promotes more uniform germination and reduces watering frequency.

In trials with young plantations, it can reduce mortality by up to 20–50% compared with untreated plots, especially during the first few months. The best results are achieved in sandy soils with prolonged dry periods.
