Agriculture SAP

Agriculture SAP

SOCO® Biodegradable Soil Hydrogel for Agriculture, also called agriculture hydrogel or agriculture SAP can improve soil quality, preserve water, and resist drought stress, agriculture sap can increase seed sprouting and seedling development leading to better farm success. 


From the environmental aspects, agriculture hydrogel is non-polluting and biodegradable. It helps in reducing irrigation frequency & water consumption and creates a simple cyclic process to provide water directly to roots and prevent soil compaction. Biodegradable Agriculture hydrogel plays an important role in sustainable agriculture.


The main material is super absorbent polymer which has a wide range of applications, including agriculture, forestry, industrial planting, municipal gardening, drought management, and water conservation. The biodegradable hydrogel for agriculture helps reduce soil erosion from surface run-off, minimizes fertilizer and pesticide leaching into groundwater, lowers water and irrigation costs, and increases crop growth success and yields.

Types of Agriculture SAP

  • Field Crops

    Potassium polyacrylate is employed in field crops to improve soil water retention. It acts as a soil hydrogel after absorbing water for agriculture, capturing and holding moisture in the soil. This enhances the efficiency of irrigation, reduces water wastage, and ensures a consistent water supply for crop growth, especially in drought regions.

  • Seedling Transplanting

    When transplanting seedlings, potassium polyacrylate is utilized to create a moisture-retaining gel around the roots. This gel provides a protective environment for the seedlings during transplant, preventing dehydration and shock. This ensures a higher survival rate upon transplantation.

  • Adult Trees

    In adult trees, potassium polyacrylate aids in water management by retaining moisture in the root zone. This is particularly beneficial during dry periods, helping trees withstand drought stress. Additionally, it promotes optimal nutrient absorption, contributing to overall tree health and growth.

  • Vegetables

    Potassium polyacrylate is applied in vegetable cultivation to enhance water absorption in the soil. By maintaining a consistent moisture level, it supports the healthy development of vegetable crops, increases yield, and reduces the frequency of irrigation, making the cultivation process more efficient.

  • Horticulture

    In horticulture, potassium polyacrylate is utilized to improve water retention in the soil, ensuring a steady supply for various ornamental plants and flowers. This water-absorbing polymer contributes to the overall health and aesthetics of the horticultural landscape.

  • Lawn Transplant

    During lawn transplantations, potassium polyacrylate is employed to create a water-absorbing matrix around the roots of the transplanted grass. This minimizes transplant shock, promotes root establishment, and enhances the overall health and appearance of the newly transplanted lawn.

  • Greening Project

    In greening projects, potassium polyacrylate is used to support the establishment of green spaces by improving soil water retention. This ensures sustainable growth of plants in urban areas, contributing to environmental conservation and enhancing the aesthetics of green projects.

  • SAP With Fertilizer

    The combination of superabsorbent polymer (SAP) and fertilizer, such as potassium polyacrylate, provides a dual benefit. It not only retains moisture in the soil but also facilitates controlled release of nutrients. This integrated approach improves the efficiency of nutrient uptake by plants, leading to healthier and more productive crops or vegetation.
