Application

The roots are in a properly prepared soil-hydrogel mixture. This ensures that the plants have constant access to the necessary minerals and fluids

Absorption

When it rains, the hydrogel absorbs the rain in the same way as when it is watered

Irrigation

The stored water is gradually returned to the roots according to the plants' needs. The whole process is repeated for up to 5 years.

Benefits

Reducing costs

  • Reducing the number of irrigation cycles in nurseries
  • Reducing the cost of mineral fertilisation
  • Less expenditure on disease control
  • Less time spent on care

Plant and root development

  • Improving root moisture
  • Reducing "water stress"
  • Reducing the severity of diseases
  • Stimulation of mycorrhizal processes
  • Reducing the growth of dangerous fungal pathogens

Soil nutrition

  • Improving the structure, moisture and aeration of soils and dry land wastelands
  • Impeding the leaching of soil-based chemical preparations
  • Less fertiliser leaching
