Preparation and possible agricultural applications of polymer hydrogel composite as soil conditioner

The effect of polymer hydrogel composites (PHGC) on sandy soils holding capacity, urea leaching loss rate (ULLR) and plant growth was studied. The effect oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) microfiber on biodegradation of poly acrylic acid hydrogel was investigated. Soil holding capacity, plants grow...
