Potassium Polyacrylate in Agriculture

Uses of Potassium Polyacrylate in Agriculture

Potassium Polyacrylate is a new functional polymer material: innocuous and can absorb/release water circularly because of its strong absorption group and special structure (mesh structure).So people usually compare it to mini-reservoir.

Advantage of Potassium Polyacrylate

1. Common plants and crops

15 to 30 kg per acre dosage, along with seeds hole application or ditch application to the soil around the seed, the seed germination rate can effectively improve and promote seedling growth. Gets success planting corn in the U.S, pature in arid area of inner Mongolia, potatoes grown in Cape Verde Africa, and potato yield increase more than 2 times.

2. Seed coating

Seed coating use SAP should be fine particle size of 0.3 mm or less, after SAP coating the seed emergence quickly, strong and good disease resistance, this is the easy available way use SAP to plants in drought area, which also with small quantity, low cost and good performance.

3. Gardening, Horticulture and landscape

SAP is ideal for mixing soil matrix, for indoor and outdoor pots, planters, window boxes, balconies, terraces, roofs, hanging, gardens, city landscape. Planting shrub, flower, grass, vegetables are available. Using SAP can bring water-saving, labor saving, time-saving benefits and reduce the drought or wilting risk causing by long time no watering the plants, longer the green time and the blossom period.

4. Lawn and Golf course

Application in golf and lawn can save about 50%-70% water, Reduce the cost of maintenance, Save about 30%-50% fertilizer. Lawn grows faster, healthier, and the green last longer, less pollution caused by the loss of fertilizer.

5. Trees

SAP as important role like fertilizers, pesticides, it is because the development of planting saplings and fruit, a continuous supply of water is very important. Using 10-20g SAP can double the survival rate of young trees when planting tree seedlings (bare root)

For adult deciduous fruit trees, put the SAP with organic fertilizer, taken with a ring groove or furrow in the root area. The dosage is up on the soil condition, tree size and the ditching situation, should generally be 0.3% of the backfill soil and fertilizer. Liaoning and Shandong planting apple in Liaoning and Shandong, lychee and pineapple in Guangxi, bananas and peaches in Yunnan, get very good result after using SAP.
