Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) help combat water scarcity in agriculture by absorbing and slowly releasing water, cutting irrigation needs by 30-50% while boosting crop yields by 15-25. SOCO develops eco-friendly SAPs, including fertilizer-infused and biodegradable options, to enhance drought resistance and sustainable farming.
The super absorbent polymer (SAP) contributes to solving moisture problems in various fields. Super absorbent resin is a polymer material that absorbs water hundreds to 1000 times its own weight and does not release water even under certain pressure.
Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP), also known as super absorbent material, is a type of polymer that can absorb and retain large amounts of water. Its unique water-absorbing and retaining properties make it widely used in agriculture, medicine, environmental protection, and other fields. With continuous technological advancements, the market demand for super absorbent polymers is increasing annually, especially in emerging fields such as the application of agricultural SAP, which is bringing more innovation and opportunities.
Citrus, being a popularly consumed fruit, requires meticulous water management during its cultivation process. Citrus trees have a high demand for water and need irrigation when the soil moisture content is below 60%. However, traditional irrigation methods such as furrow irrigation and sprinkling not only consume large amounts of water and require significant labor but are also challenging to manage. In the context of rising costs of labor, pesticides, and other expenses, it has become crucial for citrus farmers to find ways to reduce orchard management costs and improve planting efficiency.
Agricultural and forestry water retention agents, often referred to as soil moisturizers, plant transpiration inhibitors, or miniature underground reservoirs, are materials with unique properties. Fundamentally, they are high molecular compounds with a complex three-dimensional network structure, containing numerous highly hydrophilic groups capable of absorbing and retaining water hundreds of times their weight. In agriculture and forestry, by mixing these agents with soil, they can rapidly absorb water during rainfall or irrigation and lock the water within the molecular grid, preventing loss due to evaporation or infiltration, forming a long-lasting moisturizing layer. Especially under drought conditions, these water retention agents can slowly release water for plant roots to absorb, enhancing the plants' drought resistance.
In modern agriculture, the efficient use of water resources has become particularly important. Especially for crops with poor drought resistance (such as corn, wheat, cotton, and vegetables), water management directly affects yield and quality. When faced with drought weather, farmers are often puzzled about how to reduce the waste of irrigation water while ensuring normal crop growth. There are many methods to conserve water, and they are not complicated to operate. As long as the correct techniques are mastered, even in a drought environment, the challenge of tight water resources can be effectively addressed. Today, we share several practical crop water conservation methods to help you save water and increase production!
With the continuous enhancement of global environmental awareness and the deepening of the concept of sustainable development, various industries are seeking greener and more environmentally friendly innovative solutions. In the field of agriculture, Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) has emerged as a new material, especially in fruit tree planting and soil moisture retention. SOCO Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP), with its excellent water absorption capacity and environmental friendliness, is becoming one of the key technologies in agricultural production. This article will delve into the important applications of Super Absorbent Polymers in modern agriculture, particularly their enormous potential in increasing fruit tree yields and soil moisture retention.
