Absorb, retain and release water repeatedly; reduce water evaporation; improve fertilizer efficiency
Solidwater® can quickly lock water, thereby reducing water loss and storing more water in the soil to meet crop growth demand. In areas with abundant rainfall, natural rainfall is sufficient to meet crop water demand after applying Solidwater®, without the need for manual irrigation.
In arid and semi-arid regions, it can be ensured that a small amount of rainfall or irrigation water can meet the demand for crop growth by applying Solidwater®. As has been shown in experiments, the irrigation water required can be reduced by 1/3 or even up to 50% in planting areas where Solidwater® is applied.
About 20% increase in performance
The effects of Solidwater® on water and moisture conservation can significantly improve soil water content and dry matter accumulation in crops during the crop growth period. This will facilitate the transfer of assimilation products to fruits, promote the growth and development of crops, and improve the utilization rate of moisture in the soil. This contributes to higher performance and in rare cases a 67% increase in performance can be achieved.
The transplant survival rate is approximately 99%
Solidwater® can effectively reduce soil water evaporation, thus supplementing the water lost during excavation, transportation and transplanting of plants. After transplanting, Solidwater® can provide the water needed by plants in time and promote the growth and development of plant roots, getting significantly longer and more roots. According to our customers' feedback, the transplant survival rate of plants can reach 99%
Fertilizer utilization rate of approximately 65%
Traditionally, a large number of nutrients from fertilizers (a mixture of multiple types of compound fertilizers) tend to be lost before being absorbed by plants due to exposure to the sun and washing away by rain.
However, Solidwater® can effectively lock fertilizers and mineral nutrients in the soil and release them slowly to meet the growth demand of crops. This will not only reduce the leaching loss of soluble nutrients, but also saves water and fertilizer costs, thus improving water and fertilizer utilization.
As experiments show, in the case of base fertilizers, their utilization rate can be increased by up to 35%-65%, prolonging their effects.
In the case of water-soluble fertilizers, their utilization rate is increased by 25%-35%.
Savings of 50% in labor costs
Solidwater® can reduce watering frequency by more than 50%
and reduce the number of workers needed, thus reducing labor costs, and also allows more time to provide professional training to workers to improve their competence and efficiency at work.
What is Solidwater?
Solidwater® is a new type of superabsorbent polymers. It contains a large number of strongly hydrophilic groups, such as carboxyl and hydroxyl, and forms obvious spatial network structures.
It can rapidly absorb water and expand up to hundreds or even thousands of times its own weight and become a hydrogel after being added to water and retain water in molecules due to its unique physical structures and chemical properties.
Then, it will slowly release the water for crops to absorb and use according to the soil drought situation.
Solidwater® polymer can significantly promote root development
of crops, improve soil granular structures and increase fertilizer utilization rate and crop yield.
About Solidwater
Benefits
lAgricultural production suffers the adverse effects produced by the unequal distribution of precipitation throughout the year, the serious seasonal water shortage and the disproportion between precipitation and the amount of evaporated water. As a result, crops are subject to low survival rate and decreased yield. How to improve soil water retention has become an urgent problem to promote the sustainable development of agriculture.
lThe addition of Solidwater® to the soil is an important method to alleviate the current scarcity of water on the land. The results of relevant studies indicate that the addition of Solidwater® to the soil can significantly save water and increase crop yields. As a kind of high molecular weight polymer, Solidwater® can rapidly absorb deionized water 300 to 500 times its own weight and can absorb and release water repeatedly. It expands and becomes a hydrogel after absorbing water and then slowly releases the water for plants to absorb and utilize, enabling water retention in the soil, improving water utilization rate and reducing overall irrigation costs.

Instructions for use
SOLIDWATER can be applied in two ways: the dry product in granular form, or the prehydrated product.
SOLIDWATER APPLICATION
Dry surface application:
1. Spread alone or combined with substrate/seeds on the soil surface.
2. Incorporate the soil up to the root zone.
3. Intensive irrigation to activate SOLIDWATER
4. Continue soil treatment after the surface is dry enough.
Dry row application:
1. Apply directly to the planting row during soil preparation.
2. It can be applied alone or with fertilizer and seeds.
3. Intensive irrigation to activate Solidwater.
Application on grass (dry or hydrated hydrogel):
1. Introduce the product, alone or mixed with organic material, into the soil, to a depth of 15/20 cm.
2. If applied dry, then water intensively.
Application of prehydrated hydrogel:
-
Disperse the granules in water in a proportion of 1/80 (1 part retainer for every 80 parts water).
-
Shake or stir to avoid the generation of lumps.
-
Once the swelling process begins, wait 30 minutes for the product to completely hydrate.
-
Mix with fertilizers or any other organic material.
-
Apply in doses of 2-4 liters of hydrated hydrogel per 10 linear meters. Or what is the same, 100-150 kg of product per hectare.
