Fertilizer waste: More than half of nitrogen never feeds the crops. It escapes as gas, is changed by microbes, or gets washed below the roots.
Environment hit: Lost nitrogen pollutes groundwater with nitrates and creates N2O, a greenhouse gas about 298 times stronger than CO2.
Higher costs: Reapplying fertilizer means more money spent on inputs, labor, and machines.
Water loss in dry areas: Up to 50% of irrigation water disappears through evaporation or deep drainage.
Tired soils: Hard, low‑nutrient soils hurt helpful microbes and weaken plant growth.

With SOCO® Soil Hydrogel, Increase Yield by 64.79%
1. 45 days after planting: Compared with the control group, the application of SOCO® Soil Hydrogel had increased the average amount of leaves / plant by 57.57%, the average tillering number / plant by 71.42%, the average plant height by 0.81%, and the average leaf length by 5.42%. It can be seen that application of SOCO® Soil Hydrogel can significantly promote the growth.
2. Final seed number and yield observation: Compared with the control group, the total number of seeds (10 plants) with SOCO® Soil Hydrogel increased by 43.71%, and the total yield increased by 64.79%. It can be seen that the application of SOCO® Soil Hydrogel can significantly improve the yield.
SOCO Soil Hydrogel is a biodegradable water retaining agent that is superabsorbents and can stores 200–800× its weight in water and releases when drought. Combined with fertilizers, it reduces nutrient losses, stabilizes moisture, and improves plant uptake efficiency.
Controlled N release: When used with Fertisorb‑coated urea, nitrogen is released steadily, reducing volatilization, leaching, and denitrification.
P unlocking: Humic/fulvic acids convert fixed phosphorus into plant‑available forms.
Result: Up to 40% higher nitrogen use efficiency and improved phosphorus uptake.
Compound granulation: Add 2‰-2% SOCO Soil Hydrogel to organic or bio‑organic fertilizer to accelerate disintegration in soil and support rapid root uptake.
Blended fertilization: Mix 30–90 kg/ha SOCO Soil Hydrogel with granular fertilizer during tillage or sowing; apply with standard spreaders or seeders. Adjust rate to soil texture, crop, and climate.
Crops: Field crops, vegetables, orchards, horticulture, turf, and reforestation seedlings.
Regions: Especially effective in arid/semi‑arid climates and sandy or degraded soils.
Irrigation: Works with all systems (pivot, sprinkler, flood) and supports rainfed production.
Higher NUE (up to +40%), better P uptake, uniform emergence.
Fewer irrigation events (up to −50% in arid areas) with steadier soil moisture.
Stronger roots and a richer, more resilient soil microbiome.
Yes. Compatible with standard NPK blends, controlled‑release fertilizers, organics, and bio‑fertilizers.
