    Agricultural Superabsorbent Polymer

    Uploaded by

    jayalaheri
    HYDROSORBTM is a potassium-based polymer crystal that absorbs up to 300 times its weight in water. When applied to soil, it reduces the need for watering by up to 50% by absorbing and storing water for plant use, while also retaining nutrients and reducing fertilizer leaching. HYDROSORBTM improves soil structure and aeration, helps maintain consistent moisture levels, and can remain active in the soil for up to 5 years. It is compatible for use in agriculture, horticulture, lawns and gardens to support healthier plant growth with less water and fertilizer.

    Agriculture
    HYDROSORBTM products are environmentally safe
    potassium-based polyacrylamide crystals that have
    been specially designed for use in agriculture and
    horticulture.

    HYDROSORBTM products can be efficiently used in


    agriculture to reduce watering frequency. They are beneficial throughout the growth cycle of plants,
    especially in the areas of germination, growth enhancement, and root establishment. Each crystal
    absorbs up to 300 times its weight in water, keeping the soil moist for healthier plants.

    HYDROSORBTM products can reduce watering frequency by up to 50%, reducing time and money
    spent on irrigation labor and water costs. These polymers work by absorbing and storing water
    and nutrients in a gel form. These hydrogels help maintain a consistent moisture and nutrient
    balance in the root zone, thus reducing hydric stress which can slow plant growth.

    HYDROSORBTM lasts in the soil for up to 5 years and is compatible with the use of fertilizers and
    pesticides. MSDS and TDS available upon request.

    *Please note: HYDROSORB™ holds fertilizer just as it holds water. Therefore, you must reduce
    your fertilizer usage by up to 50% to avoid burning your plants. Because every soil has different
    characteristics, finding the optimum fertilizer rate requires adjustment of your standard method of
    application. For sandy soil, be sure to request our HYDROSORB™ 2001 F when ordering.

    Directions for application of HYDROSORB TM 2001 C or F for alfalfa:


    1. Broadcast the HYDROSORB TM at a rate of 20-40 lb./acre.
    2. Till into the soil at a depth of 4”-8” prior to planting.

    Directions for application of HYDROSORB TM 2001 C or F for vegetables:


    1. Broadcast the HYDROSORB˙ at a rate of 20-40 lb./acre.
    2. Till into the soil at a depth of 4”-8” prior to planting.
    Or
    Spread 7-14 lb./acre in a 14”-16” band.

    Directions for application of HYDROSORB TM 2001 C or F for grains:


    1. Broadcast the HYDROSORB TM at a rate of 20 lb./acre.
    2. Till into the soil at a depth of 4”-8” prior to planting.
    Or
    Spread 1-2 lb./acre in a ½” band in the seed slice.

    *Water thoroughly to activate crystals, then reduce your


    watering frequency by up to 50%.
