Challenges in Eucalyptus Cultivation Addressed by SAP
Eucalyptus is a fast-growing timber species widely used in papermaking, wood, essential oils and bioenergy. Eucalyptus plantations face two critical challenges: water stress and soil degradation.
These fast-growing trees require substantial moisture, yet are often cultivated in drought-prone regions where rainfall is erratic. Without intervention, seedlings suffer high mortality rates (30-40%), while mature trees experience stunted growth during dry spells. Additionally, intensive cultivation depletes soil nutrients rapidly - each harvest cycle removes 15-20% of essential minerals like nitrogen and potassium from the topsoil.
SOCO Soil Hydrogel Solution
SOCO Soil Hydrogel is a high-efficiency water-absorbing polymer (SAP) that "locks" moisture around root systems, significantly enhancing drought resistance.
✔ Rapid Absorption – Absorbs 300–800 times its weight in rainwater/irrigation water, reducing irrigation frequency by 30–50%.
✔ Slow-Release Fertilizer Synergy – Binds with fertilizers, absorbing and gradually releasing nutrients.
✔ Soil Structure Improvement – Enhances soil aggregation, aeration, and water-holding capacity.
✔ Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic – Safely degrades without harming eucalyptus roots or the ecosystem.
Soil Hydrogel (SAP) combats water stress and soil degradation through dual action:
1. Water Retention: Its hydrogel structure absorbs 300–800 times its weight in water, creating underground reservoirs that release moisture during droughts. This reduces irrigation needs by 30–50% while increasing seedling survival rates to 85–90%.
2. Nutrient Retention: SAP binds to fertilizers, reducing nutrient leaching by 40% and maintaining long-term soil fertility.
Key Application Scenarios
——Full-Cycle Solution: Maximizing Every Drop of Water!
| Growth Stage | Key Challenges | Application Method | Expected Results |
| Nursery Stage | Dry seedbeds, weak root absorption | Mix with seedling substrate (1–3g/L) | Improved water retention, uniform germination, stronger roots |
| Transplanting | Transplant shock, root desiccation, high mortality | Apply in planting hole (5–10g per plant) | Higher survival rate, shorter recovery time |
| Rapid Growth | Drought, insufficient irrigation, stunted growth | Apply near roots or mix with fertilizer (75–120kg/HA) | Stable water supply, faster growth, increased timber yield |
| Dry Seasons | Prolonged drought, high withering risk | Use as slow-release water reserve | Reduced water stress, enhanced drought resistance, stable yield |
Our standard MOQ is 500KG per types.
Yes, our soil hydrogel can be compatible with certain fertilizers. However, it's essential to follow recommended guidelines and consult with agricultural experts to ensure proper integration with other soil amendments.
The duration of effectiveness can vary based on factors like soil conditions, climate, and application rates. Generally, SOCO soil hydrogel has a long-lasting impact and can continue to improve soil water retention over an extended period.
